If two protons and two neutrons are removed from a uranium nucleus, the new element is thorium. The isotope cannot be determined because the identity of the uranium isotope was not given.

∙ 12y agoTwo protons and two neutrons is an alpha particle, also known as a helium nucleus, 24He2+. When a uranium nuclide, such as 92235U, ejects 24He2+, the result is (92-2)(235-4)X, or (in this case) 90231Th. However; the question did not specify the particular isotope of uranium, so all we can really say for sure is that the daughter product is thorium.

This occurs during radioactive decay, and the 2 protons and 2 neutrons form an alpha radiation particle.

What make up the nucleus and are made up of what?
The nucleus is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These element move in and out of the nucleus depending on the external environment.
Which of these is not a fundamental subatomic unit of an element protons nucleus electrons neutrons?
Protons and neutrons ar fomed from quarks and are not considered as fundamental particles; they are components of the atomic nucleus.
The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
Do neutrons and protons make up the nucleus?
yes, neutrons and protons make up the nucleus. Outside of the nucleus are the electrons. The nucleus's charge is positive because of the protons.
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
What make up the nucleus and are made up of what?
The nucleus is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These element move in and out of the nucleus depending on the external environment.
Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.
What element is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
All elements have neutrons and protons within the nucleus.
What is the smallest unit showing properties of the element Protons and Neutrons in nucleus?
The smallest unit that shows the properties of an element is an atom, and yes, an atom has protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What do isotopes and nucleus have in common?
All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same atomic number, number of protons and number of neutrons.
Are the protons and neutrons attached to the nucleus of the manganese element?
Yes, 25 protons and 30 neutrons form the nucleus of Manganese's most stable isotope.
What element has the same number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus as an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. That is the same as a helium nucleus.
Which of these is not a fundamental subatomic unit of an element protons nucleus electrons neutrons?
Protons and neutrons ar fomed from quarks and are not considered as fundamental particles; they are components of the atomic nucleus.
How many protons and neutrons does a nucleus of an atom contain?
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.
How does the mass of a nucleus differ from the mass of an electron?
There is no simple answer.The mass of a nucleus depends on the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. The number of protons in the nucleus depends on the element. Moreover, the number of neutrons can vary between isotopes of the same element.
The mass number of an elements is equal to?
the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
