What else can I help you with?
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
Why is alpha emitted by thorium-230?
The decay is: Th-230-------------Ra-226 + He-4
How many more neutrons does thorium 230 have then electrons?
Thorium 230 has 90 electrons and 140 neutrons.
How many electrons does thorium -230 have?
Thorium 230 has 90 protons and 140 neutrons - the difference is 50.
What element does thorium 230 decay into?
By alpha decay Th-230 is transformed in Ra-226.
How many electrons does thorium230 have?
Thorium has 90 protons. So for a neutral atom, there has to be 90 electrons. 230 is the total number of nucleons. ie 90 protons and 140 neutrons.
What element does thorium-230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
Thorium-230 decays into radium-226 when it emits an alpha particle.
What is the difference between Thorium 230 and Thorium 234 is one more dangerous than the other?
Thorium 230 is an alpha emitter with half life 75,380 years. Therefore it is dangerous if ingested. Alpha particles don't penetrate the skin, so it would not be dangerous to handle carefully, but if ingested alpha particles can damage internal organs. Thorium 234 is a beta emitter with half life 24.1 days. So 230 is the more dangerous.
What is the balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium 230?
The balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium-230 is: ^230Th → ^226Ra + ^4He
How many more neutrons does thorium-230have than protons how many electrons does thorium-230 have?
The atomic number of thorium is 90. So there are 90 protons and 90 electrons. In Th-230 isotope there are 140 neutrons (230 - 90 = 140) So there are 50 more neutrons than the number of protons.
How many protons does thorium-230 have?
The atomic number of thorium is 90. so it will always have 90 protons in all its isotope.
How many protons does thorium -230 have?
Thorium has 90 protons. It does not matter which isotope is involved.
