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.


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.

These are all phenomenons in nuclear physics.


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.


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

234Th---- beta minus------234Pa


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 is the first decay product of uranium upon alpha decay?

It is 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.
