"Beta decay" is used for two different processes. However, the kind undergone by 234Th produces 234Pa.
beta
The beta plus decay of mercury (a positron emission event) will deliver the daughter nucleus gold.
No. In both the cases the element would definitely change. As alpha particle comes out then the new element would have two less in atomic number where as in beta particle decay the new element will have one higher in atomic number.
The equation for the beta decay of 24Na is: 1124Na --> 1224Mg + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.
The beta decay product of francium-223 is radium-223.
Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle
We know that iodine-131 will undergo beta minus decay, and an electron will appear as a result. (An electron antineutrino will also be produced, but we don't want to go there in this topic.)
This isotope is lead-206.
It depends on which isotope of bismuth we are talking about. Most isotopes less than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta+, and they decay to lead, while most isotopes greater than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta-, and they decay to polonium.There are some isotopes that decay by other mechanisms, such as alpha, but the question asked only about beta.
Yttrium-90 "the slash is important"
Protactinium 234 is a decay product of thorium 234; the nuclear reaction is: 23490Th-----------beta rays-------------23491Pa
"Beta decay" is used for two different processes. However, the kind undergone by 234Th produces 234Pa.
The only possible product of the alpha decay of 92238U is 90234Th.
Nitrogen-14, by way of beta decay.
