When radioactive uranium decays it emits an alpha particle and produces a nuclide of thorium . according to the nuclear equation what is the mass of the thorium produced?
When uranium undergoes alpha decay, it emits an alpha particle (which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons) and transforms into thorium. The mass of the thorium produced can be determined by subtracting the mass of the emitted alpha particle from the original mass of the uranium nuclide. The specific mass of thorium will depend on the isotope of uranium that is decaying, but it generally corresponds to the mass number of the uranium minus 4 (for the alpha particle).
When uranium radiate alpha particles what element is produced?
When uranium radiates alpha particles, it transforms into thorium. Thorium is a radioactive element that is produced as a result of the decay of uranium through alpha emission.
What isotope is formed when uranium 235 emits an alpha particle?
You get this answer by performing the following: Mass # Mass # 4 Atomic # Parent symbol -> Atomic # Daughter symbol + 2 He 238 234 4 92 U -> 90 Th + 2 He Both sides must equal the same thing, so if you figure out what plus 4 = 238 and what plus 2 = 92, you can figure out the element is formed through decay. The resulting element in this case is Thorium.
Into what elements does uranium 235 decay?
Uranium-235 decays primarily through alpha decay, where it emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into thorium-231.
What type of radioactive decay result in uranium -238 becoming thorium 234.?
This is an alpha decay.The half-life of uranium-238 is 4,468.10ex.9 years.
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 element does thorium 230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
When thorium-230 decays by emitting an alpha particle, it transforms into radium-226. This decay process reduces the mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2.

What is the eqaution of disintegration of thorium?
232Th---------alpha particle---------228Ra
When uranium radiate alpha particles what element is produced?
When uranium radiates alpha particles, it transforms into thorium. Thorium is a radioactive element that is produced as a result of the decay of uranium through alpha emission.
What happens to thorium when it emits an alpha particle?
Alpha emission means a He (A=4, Z=2) core is released along with energy. Helium's atomic number is 2 and the atomic mass is 4. So when Thorium (A=x, Z=90) emits an alpha particle it becomes a Radium (A=x-4, Z=88). By the way: Thorium is very vague when it comes to nuclear physics. It's important to state the atomic mass of the atom. There exist many forms of each element, called isotopes.
Which daughter element is produced from the alpha decay of?
227Ac89
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
What would the balanced equation for the alpha decay of thorium 229 be?
The balanced equation for the alpha decay of thorium-229, Th-229, is: Th-229 -> Ra-225 + He-4 This equation shows that a thorium-229 nucleus undergoes alpha decay to form a radium-225 nucleus and a helium-4 particle.
