It is the rate at which somthing decays or breaks down.
Yttrium-90 "the slash is important"
In beta decay of thorium-234, a neutron in the nucleus of thorium-234 is transformed into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. This process converts the thorium-234 nucleus into protactinium-234.
Scientists use radiometric dating to determine the age of the Earth by measuring the decay of radioactive isotopes in rocks and minerals. By analyzing the ratio of parent isotopes to daughter isotopes, scientists can calculate the age of the Earth based on the rate of decay of these isotopes.
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.
Because the stable isotopes of lead are the end products of the decay chain of uranium natural radioactive isotopes. or because lead is the product of decayed uranium... that should be a good enough answer for your chem teacher you cheater!
It is the rate at which somthing decays or breaks down.
Relative decay is the process of determining the age of a sample by comparing the amount of a radioactive isotope it contains to the amount of its decay products. By measuring the ratio of remaining isotope to decay product, scientists can estimate the age of the sample based on the known decay rate of the isotope.

Ratio decay is a concept in options trading that refers to the situation where the ratio of contracts in a spread changes as the price of the underlying asset moves. This can impact the risk and reward profile of the trade as the ratio shifts, potentially leading to unexpected outcomes. It is important for traders to monitor and manage ratio decay to ensure their positions remain within their risk tolerance.
The product.
Decay ratio in instrumentation refers to the rate at which a system's response decreases after reaching its peak value. It is commonly used in control theory to assess the stability of a control system. A higher decay ratio indicates faster settling time and improved stability.
The basic idea is to measure the amount of the radioactive isotope, and of one or more of its decay products. The older the rock, the larger the percentage of the original isotope that decayed - so the ratio between the original isotope and the decay product changes over time.
Unit Ratio- a ratio that has a denominator of 1
The intermediate product is neptunium 237 ( a very long-lived radioisotope).
cross product
Gamma decay does not change the neutron-to-proton ratio for a nucleus. Gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, which are high-energy photons, without changing the composition of the nucleus.
It is thorium 234.
