How many alpha particles are produced as one atom of uranium-238 decays to an atom of lead-206?

4 alpha particles were emitted.
This is known by the fact that an alpha particle ,on being given out, decrease the mass number of the element by 4.Hence the decrease in mass number in above question is 12 which itself states the answer that 4 alpha particles are emitted.
The number of beta particles emitted are 3 beta particle have been emitted.

Write a nuclear equation for the indicated decay of Uranium 234?
The equation for the alpha decay of 234U is: 92234U --> 90230Th + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 234U also decays by spontaneous fission, but the results are somewhat unpredictable, so there is no standard equation.
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.
A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an?
A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron plus an antineutrino (to carry off extra energy).
What happens when radioactive element decays?
Carbon gets released
An excited atom decays to it's ground state and emits a proton of green light if instead the atom decays to an intermediate state what could the light emitted be?
If an atom that emits a green proton when it decays to its ground state decays to an intermediate state instead it will emit a proton that is yellow/orange/red. The reason is that it will be a lower energy proton emitted and lower energy waves correspond to longer wavelengths like the ones that make up these colors.
What is produced when a radioactive element decays?
Energy, various sub-atomic particles, a different element.

What dangerous gas is produced when radium decays?
Radon
How isotopes produced?
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
What gas is produced when radium decays?
The extremely dangerous Radon (my favorite element).
What is a beta emitter?
In physics, an alpha emitter is a radioactive substance which decays by emitting alpha particles.

Is methane expensive?
No- it is a very common gas, and may be produced by any decomposing organic matter that decays.
What is the atomic number of uranium 235 after it decays by emiting alpha particles?
im not sure but maybe if i knew a guienus then i could answer you
What does radioactive materials and electricity have in common?
Electrons. Electricity is composed of free electrons and some radioactive decays emit electrons (beta particles)
