What is the notation that indicates the thorium isotope?
After the IUPAC rule: 232Th, etc.Also used: Th-232, thorium-232
How many protons does thorium -230 have?
Thorium has 90 protons. It does not matter which isotope is involved.
What isotopes remains after the alpha decay of uranium-238?
232U alpha decays to 228Th. Thorium-228 is the daughter product of the alpha decay of uranium-232.
What is the orbital notation of thorium?
The electron configuration of thorium is: [Rn]6d27s2.
Is thorium better than uranium?
Yes, we can get more electricity from thorium, if you are asking about the supply. When 232Th is used in a nuclear reactor, it is bred to become 233U. This isotope of uranium has about as much energy available as 235U, so the amount of energy per fission event is about the same for thorium as it is for uranium. Aside from that, however, there are important differences. Thorium does not need to be enriched, so all of it can be used. The amount of thorium we have is a multiple of the amount of uranium. The combination means that, where we only have a few decades supply of uranium, we have enough thorium to last thousands of years.
Which notation indicates the thorium isotope produced?
Th-234
What is the isotope notation for thorium?
Unfortunately WikiAnswers doesn't accept subscript/superscript.For the isotope thorium-232: 232Th90232 is a superscript (mass number) and 90 is a subscript (atomic number).

Why mass of uranium destroys when it breaks into platinum and then into thorium?
- After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-238 is transformed in the isotope thorium-234. - After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-235 is transformed in the isotope thorium-230. Platinum is a misspelling ?
The isotopes often called Thorium B and Thorium D are actually isotopes of what other element?
Thorium B is 212Pb: radioactive isotope of lead. Thorium D is 208Pb: stable isotope of lead.
How many protons does thorium -230 have?
Thorium has 90 protons. It does not matter which isotope is involved.
Which isotope of thorium is used for stress tests?
Thorium is not used for the stress test.
What isotopes remains after the alpha decay of uranium-238?
232U alpha decays to 228Th. Thorium-228 is the daughter product of the alpha decay of uranium-232.
What is Thorium breeder reacter?
In this type of nuclear reactor the fertile isotope thorium-232 is transformed in the fissile isotope uranium-233 and this act as a nuclear fuel.
What is the orbital notation of thorium?
The electron configuration of thorium is: [Rn]6d27s2.
How many neutorns does thorium have?
Thorium-232 has 142 neutrons; the number of neutrons differ for each isotope.
