What is the decay product of uranium-238?

U-238 is the most abundant (99.3%) of the three naturally occurring isotopes of Uranium. The other two are U-235 and U-234.U-238 decays spontaneously to Thorium-234 by alpha particle emission. This decays by beta decay to Protactinium-234 and then that undergoes beta decay to become U-234.There are many more decay steps by alpha and beta emission. The end result is Lead-206 which is stable.The full path can be found in the Argonne National Laboratories Human Health Fact Sheet, August 2005, titled Natural Decay Series: Uranium, Radium, and ThoriumThis is found at:http://www.ead.anl.gov/pub/doc/natural-decay-series.pdf


How many different isomers do c3h12 have?

C3H12 can have two different isomers: n-propane, which is a straight chain molecule, and isobutane, which is a branched molecule.


What element is used to prevent tooth decay?

Fluoride is the element typically used to prevent tooth decay. It helps strengthen tooth enamel and can reverse early signs of tooth decay. Many toothpastes and some public water supplies are fluoridated to provide this benefit.


Are most isotopes stable?

No, most isotopes are not stable. Many isotopes are radioactive and decay over time, releasing radiation in the process. Only a few isotopes are stable and do not undergo radioactive decay.


What is added to water in Scotland to help stop to decay?

In Scotland, fluoride is added to water to help prevent tooth decay. This is a common practice in many countries to improve dental health in the population.

What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?

The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.


How many α-particles will be generated during the decay of a uranium-238 atom to Pb 206?

The decay of a uranium-238 atom into lead-206 involves the emission of 8 alpha particles. This decay process releases 8 helium-4 (α) particles as the uranium nucleus undergoes multiple decay steps to stabilize as lead-206.

How many years would it take radioactive decay in a kilogram of granite to produce this many joules?

The time it takes for radioactive decay in a kilogram of granite to produce a specific amount of energy in joules depends on the specific radioactive isotopes present in the granite, as different isotopes have different decay rates. Granite typically contains trace amounts of uranium, thorium, and potassium isotopes, which decay at different rates and produce different amounts of energy. Detailed calculations would be needed to determine the exact time based on the specific isotopic composition and decay rates in the granite sample.
