Thallium 204 turns into lead.
kinetic energy
When an isotope's atomic number changes due to decay, it creates a new element. This process occurs through the emission of particles or radiation, which can result in the conversion of one element to another.
The first radioactive element formed when uranium-238 decays is thorium-234. Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form thorium-234.
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
The mass number of an element decreases by 4 when it decays by ejecting an alpha particle. This is because an alpha particle has a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2. The atomic number of the element also decreases by 2.
it is unstable and decays to another element
E=mc^2 means Energy=Mass times the Constant speed of light. When the atom is split, it creates energy, no particles. But, the energy causes the atoms to speed up and and creates a massive amount of friction and heat. Now, you could ask, what happens when a radioactive element, such as Uranium, decays. It turns into lead.

kinetic energy
When a radioactive element decays, it produces radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This decay process can transform the element into a different element or a different isotope of the same element.
Radioactivity
When an isotope's atomic number changes due to decay, it creates a new element. This process occurs through the emission of particles or radiation, which can result in the conversion of one element to another.
When a radioactive element decays, it releases energy in the form of radiation (such as alpha or beta particles). The decay changes the element into a different element or isotope, which may also be radioactive. This process continues until a stable non-radioactive element is formed.
The extremely dangerous Radon (my favorite element).
No. It is a nuclear change, as the identity of the element changes.
