If an element emits a beta particle, it results in the transformation of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus. This process changes the element to the one that is two elements higher in the periodic table.
When an atom emits an alpha particle, it loses two protons and two neutrons from its nucleus. This results in a new element being formed with an atomic number that is two less than the original element.
When an element emits a beta particle, it transforms into an element that occupies the place immediately following it in the periodic table. This is because beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton, increasing the atomic number by one.
The nuclear reaction is: 232Th--------------- 228Ra + α
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
226Ra------------alpha particle----------222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
When californium emits an alpha particle, it creates curium.
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
Thorium-230 decays into radium-226 when it emits an alpha particle.
If an element emits a beta particle, it results in the transformation of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus. This process changes the element to the one that is two elements higher in the periodic table.
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
When an atom emits an alpha particle, it loses two protons and two neutrons from its nucleus. This results in a new element being formed with an atomic number that is two less than the original element.

When radium (Ra) emits an alpha particle, it transforms into radon (Rn). This process is also known as alpha decay, where an alpha particle is released from the nucleus of the radium atom, resulting in the formation of a new element.
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
