What is the daughter nucleus (nuclide) produced when 213 Bi undergoes alpha decay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alpha particle has 4 nucleons and 2 protons, hence if 213 Bi undergoes alpha decay, it means it loses it. Hence the nucleon number becomes 213-4= 209. According to the periodic table, the new element is Po.

so 209 is the mass number and it goes on the top and 84 is the number of protons and it goes on the bottom right
