Thorium-234 is not changed in uranium-234.
- Th-234 is a decay product of U-238
- By beta decay Th-234 is transformed in Pa-234
Uranium 238 is transformed in thorium 234 by alpha decay.
The first radioactive element formed when uranium-238 decays is thorium-234. Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form thorium-234.
Uranium 238 goes through a decay series until it becomes lead. An intermediate product of this decay series is Thorium 234. Uranium 238 decays into an atom of Thorium 234 and an atom of Helium 4. The Helium 4, being a gas, frequently escapes into the atmosphere. Since the decay of Uranium 238 into Thorium 234 and Helium 4 gives off heat and mass, nature does not normally reverse the process.
It is thorium 234.
92238U decays to 90234Th by alpha decay. Since an alpha particle is a helium nucleus, 24He2+, having two protons and two neutrons, the reaction entails the loss of two neutrons.

234 is the mass of that particular Uranium isotope. Exactly 234,040 952 088 ± 0,000 001 960 u.a.
The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.
Uranium 238 goes through a decay series until it becomes lead. An intermediate product of this decay series is Thorium 234. Uranium 238 decays into an atom of Thorium 234 and an atom of Helium 4. The Helium 4, being a gas, frequently escapes into the atmosphere. Since the decay of Uranium 238 into Thorium 234 and Helium 4 gives off heat and mass, nature does not normally reverse the process.
This decay occurs due to the instability of the uranium-238 nucleus, which undergoes alpha decay to achieve a more stable configuration as thorium-234. During alpha decay, a helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) is emitted from the uranium-238 nucleus, leading to the transformation into thorium-234.
It is 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.
- After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-238 is transformed in the isotope thorium-234. - After alpha disintegration the isotope uranium-235 is transformed in the isotope thorium-230. Platinum is a misspelling ?
