Protactinium 234 is a decay product of thorium 234; the nuclear reaction is:
23490Th-----------beta rays-------------23491Pa
Thorium-234 is transformed by beta decay in protactinium-234.
Thorium-234 is transformed in protactinium-234 by beta decay.
Protactinium- 234
Protactinium 234 is a decay product of thorium 234; the nuclear reaction is: 23490Th---------------23491Pa + beta rays (e-)
Thorium 234: Beta decay. Atomic number increases by 1.
You'd have to specify the isotope of thorium for us to definitively identify the isotope produced. A thorium atom that undergoes alpha decay will become a radium atom. However, we can't identify the specific isotope of radium without knowing the number of neutrons in the original thorium atom.
Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How much of a 100-g sample of thorium-234 will be unchanged after 48.2 days?
Th-234
Thorium-234 is not changed in uranium-234.- Th-234 is a decay product of U-238- By beta decay Th-234 is transformed in Pa-234
Protactinium 234 is a decay product of thorium 234; the nuclear reaction is: 23490Th---------------23491Pa + beta rays (e-)
The beta decay is: 234Th--------beta--------234Pa.
daughter element
All radioactive isotopes decay because they are unstable; uranium-238 decay to thorium-234 by beta (-) decay. The half life of 238U is very great: 4,468.109 years.
Thorium 234: Beta decay. Atomic number increases by 1.
These are all phenomenons in nuclear physics.
You'd have to specify the isotope of thorium for us to definitively identify the isotope produced. A thorium atom that undergoes alpha decay will become a radium atom. However, we can't identify the specific isotope of radium without knowing the number of neutrons in the original thorium atom.
234Th---- beta minus------234Pa
The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.
It is thorium 234.
It's beta decay. Actually, it's beta minus decay. A neutron in the nucleus of thorium-234 undergoes beta minus decay and changes into a proton with the subsequent release of an electron, an antineutrino and some energy. The transformation of a neutron in the thorium nucleus into that proton creates another element. You'll recall that the identity of an element is determined solely by the number of protons in its nucleus. And our thorium atom has now become a protractinium-234 atom.
