What is a balanced equation for the alpha decay of thorium -232?
Tabriad
Alright so you begin with what you need, this isotope of Protactinium has 234 nucleons, its atomic number is 91, in Beta decay we release an electron, which has no nucleons (protons and neutrons) and an atomic number of -1 so when we take out -1 from 91, so 91 - -1 we get 92, which is of course Uranium, this particular isotope has 234 nucleons, now, to show where it has gone, write the electron in, and add a antineutrino aswell, heres how mine looks.
Pa23491 ---> U23491 + e0-1 + antineutrino (a v with a little line above it)
Hope this helps :)

Th-231(alpha)Ra-227; this type of decay is very rare.

What is the alpha decay of the Thorium isotope Th 232?
Seems some mistake in printing the mass number of thorium. It has to be 227. No Th-225 is available as far as the tables have been analysed. When a alpha particle comes out then the atomic number of parent is reduced by 2 and its mass number will be reduced by 4. So in case of Th-227, it gets changed to Ra-223 after the emission of an alpha particle.
Determine what type of decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231?
Thorium 234: Beta decay. Atomic number increases by 1.
What is beta decay of thorium 234?
Protactinium 234 is a decay product of thorium 234; the nuclear reaction is: 23490Th-----------beta rays-------------23491Pa
What happens when thorium 234 undergoes beta decay?
You'd have to specify the isotope of thorium for us to definitively identify the isotope produced. A thorium atom that undergoes alpha decay will become a radium atom. However, we can't identify the specific isotope of radium without knowing the number of neutrons in the original thorium atom.
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
It's called alpha-decay. The two protons and two neutrons are removed in the form of alpha particles, or helium nuclei.
What would the balanced equation for the alpha decay of thorium 229 be?
229Th-------alpha particle-----------225Ra
What is the balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium 230?
Th-230(alpha)Ra-226.

What is a good decay equation for uranium decay's to alpha decay?
There are 3 naturally occurring isotopes of Uranium, all decay by alpha to Thorium:238U --> 234Th + 4He235U --> 231Th + 4He234U --> 230Th + 4He
When thorium decays by producing an alpha praticle the product nuclide is?
The decay of thorium by alpha decay the resultant nuclide is the element radium. The specific nuclide of radium cannot be determined unless we know which specific nuclide of thorium underwent alpha decay.
