How is thorium 234 changed into uranium 234?

Thorium-234 does not change into Uranium-234. Thorium-234 undergoes radioactive decay to form Protactinium-234, which then decays to form Uranium-234. This process happens over multiple steps through alpha and beta decay mechanisms.


Thorium -234 proatinium-234 plus -1?

Thorium-234 does not decay into Protactinium-234. Instead, Thorium-234 naturally decays by alpha emission to Protactinium-230. The difference in decay modes is due to variances in their nuclear structures and energetics.


What is the daughter product of uranium 238 by beta and gamma emission?

The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.


What must be happening in the nucleus of thorium-234 as it changes to protactinium?

The beta decay is: 234Th--------beta--------234Pa.

Thorium-234 atomic number 90 the number of neutrons 144 undergo beta decay what is the resulting element?

When thorium-234 undergoes beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the formation of protactinium-234, with atomic number 91.


Why Uranium-238 decays into thorium-234?

All radioactive isotopes decay because they are unstable; uranium-238 decay to thorium-234 by beta (-) decay. The half life of 238U is very great: 4,468.109 years.


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.


Are the following nuclear equation alpha decay beta decay or fusion Thorium 234 Proactinium 234 1oe Hydrogen Hydrogen Helium Uranium 238 Thorium 234 Helium 4?

These are all phenomenons in nuclear physics.


Determine what type of decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231?

Alpha decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231. In alpha decay, a nucleus emits an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons) to transform into a nucleus with a lower atomic number.


What are the possible products of the alpha decay of uranium-238?

The possible products of the alpha decay of uranium-238 are thorium-234 and helium-4. During alpha decay, the uranium nucleus releases an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into thorium-234.


Is Thorium-234 Proactinium-234 -1 a alpha decay equation?

It's beta decay. Actually, it's beta minus decay. A neutron in the nucleus of thorium-234 undergoes beta minus decay and changes into a proton with the subsequent release of an electron, an antineutrino and some energy. The transformation of a neutron in the thorium nucleus into that proton creates another element. You'll recall that the identity of an element is determined solely by the number of protons in its nucleus. And our thorium atom has now become a protractinium-234 atom.
