The mass defect of thorium refers to the difference between the mass of the individual protons and neutrons in its nucleus and the actual mass of the thorium atom. This mass defect arises because some mass is converted into binding energy that holds the nucleus together, as described by Einstein's equation, E=mc². For thorium-232, which is the most common isotope, the mass defect is approximately 0.180 atomic mass units (u). This binding energy is crucial for the stability of the nucleus.
When uranium undergoes alpha decay, it emits an alpha particle (which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons) and transforms into thorium. The mass of the thorium produced can be determined by subtracting the mass of the emitted alpha particle from the original mass of the uranium nuclide. The specific mass of thorium will depend on the isotope of uranium that is decaying, but it generally corresponds to the mass number of the uranium minus 4 (for the alpha particle).
You have it backwards. The atomic weight of thorium 90 is 232.0381
Thorium constitutes about 4E-8% of the visible baryonic matter of the universe by mass. Visible baryonic matter is about 4.9% of the total mass of the universe, as per the latest estimates. So the mass-percentage of thorium in the universe would be 4E-8 x 0.049 = ... very little.
234 is the mass of that particular Uranium isotope. Exactly 234,040 952 088 ± 0,000 001 960 u.a.
The main isotopes of thorium are thorium-232, thorium-230, and thorium-229. Thorium-232 is the most abundant and stable isotope of thorium, while thorium-230 and thorium-229 are radioactive isotopes that undergo decay processes.
Thorium 232 has 90 electrons and protons, also 142 neutrons.
