238U radiates alpha particles and decays via 234Th and 234Pa into 234U, which has a halflife of 245,500 years. (Thorium-234, Protactinium-234, Uranium-234 respectively)
When carbon loses a beta particle, it becomes nitrogen. This is because beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton, leading to the element changing by one on the periodic table.
An element is formed from atoms; atoms are formed from protons, neutrons and electrons.Protons and neutroms are formed from quarks and gluons.A molecule is formed fro atoms.
Fluoride ion (F-) is not an element, but an ion formed from the element fluorine (F). Fluorine is a chemical element on the periodic table, while fluoride ion is a negatively charged particle resulting from the gain of an electron by a fluorine atom.
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
The element formed during alpha decay is a new element with an atomic number that is 2 less and an atomic mass that is 4 less than the original element. An alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, is emitted during the process.
In alpha decay, the parent element releases an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The daughter element formed has an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less than the parent element. In beta decay, the parent element undergoes a transformation where a neutron is converted into a proton, emitting an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. The daughter element formed has an atomic number 1 more than the parent element.
When radium (Ra) emits an alpha particle, it transforms into radon (Rn). This process is also known as alpha decay, where an alpha particle is released from the nucleus of the radium atom, resulting in the formation of a new element.
When an atom emits an alpha particle, it loses two protons and two neutrons from its nucleus. This results in a new element being formed with an atomic number that is two less than the original element.
When an alpha particle is released by an atom, the atom loses two protons and two neutrons, resulting in a different element being formed. This process is known as alpha decay.

The row that shows the change that takes place when element X gains a new particle is the row that represents the atomic number increasing by 1 and the mass number remaining the same.
The smallest basic particle of an element is an atom. Atoms and molecules formed of them are the smallest particles that have the physical and chemical properties of the element. Atoms, however, are made of smaller particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, of which the electron is the smallest. There are various supplementary particles that connect or interact with them (e.g. mesons). These atomic particles are formed by the combination of constituent particles called quarks, which do not normally exist in uncombined forms (where, oddly, they would have much greater mass than the particles they constitute).
