When a radon 222 nucleus decays what is the other product that forms?
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
What type of radiation does Radon give off?
Naturally occuring Radon gas decays by alpha particle emission. However, many of the decay chain products have very short half lives, of which some decay by alpha particle emission and others by beta particle emission.
The uranium-235 decay series begins with the emission of an alpha particle If the daughter decays by beta emission what is the resulting nuclide?
Uranium-235 will not beta decay first. If you google "Chart of Nuclides" you can follow the entire decay chain yourself using each isotope's most likely decay type.
After undergoing alpha decay an atom of radium -226 becomes?
Radium 226 decays by alpha emission to Radon 222. A helium nucleus is emitted by alpha emission which makes the mass reduce by 4 and its atomic number by 2.
What isotopes remains after the alpha decay of uranium-238?
232U alpha decays to 228Th. Thorium-228 is the daughter product of the alpha decay of uranium-232.
Would an atom of radioactive gold be more likely to decay by alpha emission or beta emission?
Gold never decays by alpha emission, it either decays by -beta, +beta, K capture, or gamma emission depending on isotope.Natural gold is isotopically pure gold-197, which is stable.
What happens when californium 251 decays into curium 247?
Californium-251 decay by alpha emission.
What is the daughter product of uranium 238 by beta and gamma emission?
The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.
What is the nuclear equation radionclide X decays by alpha emission into radium-224?
Alpha emission means that an alpha particle (2 protons + 2 neutrons) are emitted, so the original nucleus has 2 protons and 2 neutrons more.

Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.

Which product is formed by alpha emission from polonium 208?
The isotope lead-204 is obtained.
What isotopes remains after the alpha decay of uranium-238?
232U alpha decays to 228Th. Thorium-228 is the daughter product of the alpha decay of uranium-232.
How many types of radiation does thorium give off?
The isotope thorium-232 is an alpha emitter; extremely rare are decays by spontaneous fission or double beta emission.
What is The alpha emission process results in the daughter nucleus differing in what manner from the parent?
Atomic number increases by one.
