Oxygen-15 does not decay by alpha decay. It decays by beta+ decay to Nitrogen-15, giving off a positron and an electron neutrino.

The four types of nuclear decay are alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and neutron decay. Alpha decay involves the emission of an alpha particle, beta decay involves the emission of beta particles (either electrons or positrons), gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, and neutron decay involves the emission of a neutron.
In alpha decay, the nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Thallium-230 undergoes alpha decay to produce an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) and become lead-226. The balanced nuclear equation for this process is: ([^{230}{81}Tl \rightarrow ^{4}{2}He + ^{226}_{82}Pb]).
The balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium-230 is: ^230Th → ^226Ra + ^4He
The nuclear equation for the decay of Po-210 undergoing 2 alpha decays followed by a beta decay and another alpha decay is: Po-210 -> Pb-206 + 4 He-4 + 2 e-1 + 2 v This equation represents the series of decays that result in the transformation of Po-210 into Pb-206, with the emission of two helium nuclei (alpha particles), two electrons, and two neutrinos.
The term apha decay is not correct; it is a nuclear reaction: 94Be + α -------- 126C + n Beryllium is a component of small neutron sources as Pu-Be, Ra-Be, Po-Be, Am-Be, using the above reaction.

The equation for the alpha decay of 210Po is:84210Po --> 82206Pb + 24He where He represents the alpha particle, which can also be viewed as a Helium nucleus.
A:Uranium - 238 --> Pb - 206 + Alpha + Beta note this is a simplified over all reaction, the actual process involves around 15 steps...A:The equation for the alpha decay of 238U is: 92238U --> 90234Th + 24HeThe alpha particle is represented as an He nucleus.
Uranium-239 does NOT decay by alpha decay, it decays only by beta and gammadecay.
