∙ 13y agoThe equation for the beta decay of 228Ra is: 88288Ra --> 89288Ac+ -10e
where the -10e is a negative beta particle or electron. 224****

What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of 242 Pu?
Plutonium-241 decays by both beta- and alpha decay. For beta- decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 95241Am + e- + v-eNot asked but answered for completeness sake, for alpha decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 92237U +24He2+
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 mass of a alpha particle given a nuclear equation?
Four times of the hydrogen atom.
How do you write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of polonium-206 through alpha decay?
If radon-210 undergoes alpha decay, it will produce the alpha particle (which is a helium-4 nucleus) and polonium-206. The equation looks like this: 86210Ra => 24He + 84206Po You'll note that in the balanced nuclear equation, the atomic numbers, which are the subscripts, balance on both sides of the equation (86 = 2 + 84). The atomic masses, which are the superscripts, also balance on both sides of the equation (210 = 4 + 206).
What is the nuclear equation of the decay of uranium 238?
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.
What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of uranium 239?
Uranium-239 does NOT decay by alpha decay, it decays only by beta and gammadecay.
What is the nuclear decay equation for uranium 235?
The equation for the alpha decay of 235U is: 92235U --> 90231Th + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 235U also decays by spontaneous fission, but the results are somewhat unpredictable, so there is no standard equation.

What is the nuclear equation radionclide X decays by alpha emission into radium-224?
Alpha emission means that an alpha particle (2 protons + 2 neutrons) are emitted, so the original nucleus has 2 protons and 2 neutrons more.
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.
Answer the alpha decay undergo in nuclear equation thallium-230?
There is no thallium-230 isotope.Also no thallium isotope decays by alpha decay, the unstable isotopes all decay either by K capture or beta decay.
Radioactive decay is when unstable atoms?
give off nuclear radiation
What is the equation for the alpha decay of uranium -237?
The equation for the alpha decay of 233Pu:94233Pu --> 92229U + 24He2+where the alpha particle is represented as a helium nucleus.Note that 233Pu decays by alpha decay with a probability of only 0.12%. The other 99.88% is Beta+ decay.
