When U-238 decays to th-234 what has been emitted?
When U-238 decays to Th-234, an alpha particle is emitted. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, and is essentially a helium nucleus.
When a uranium atom decays radioactivity to become protactinium the radiation emitted is?
Some possible decays:- U-231------------Pa-231 (by electron capture)- U-229------------Pa-229 (emission of a beta particle)- U-228------------Pa-228 (by electron capture)
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
When a radon 222 nucleus decays what is the other product that forms?
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
What type of radiation is emitted when polonium-212 forms lead-208?
Polonium-212 loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons when it decays to lead-208. These 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost as a single Helium nucleus. In other words, it is an alpha decay.
What type of radiation is emitted when carbon 14 is decays?
Carbon-14 decays by beta-, which emits a W- boson that immediately decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
When a uranium atom 92u235 decays radioactivity to became protactinium 91u231 the radiation emitted are?

When U-238 decays to th-234 what has been emitted?
When U-238 decays to Th-234, an alpha particle is emitted. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, and is essentially a helium nucleus.
What particle is emitted when Na-20 decays to Ne-20?
A positive electron (positron) is emitted.
When a uranium atom decays radioactivity to become protactinium the radiation emitted is?
Some possible decays:- U-231------------Pa-231 (by electron capture)- U-229------------Pa-229 (emission of a beta particle)- U-228------------Pa-228 (by electron capture)

Where does Astatine go after its half-life?
It doesn't "go" anywhere. It radioactively decays and changes into a different element.
What is the definition of the word polonium?
Polonium is a very rare chemical element. It has the atomic number 84. It is produced when uranium decays and is a naturally radioactive metallic element.
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
