Bismuth-214 produces Polonium-214 by beta- decay. It also produces Thallium-210 by alpha decay, though at a much smaller percentage.

When thorium decays by producing an alpha praticle the product nuclide is?

The decay of thorium by alpha decay the resultant nuclide is the element radium. The specific nuclide of radium cannot be determined unless we know which specific nuclide of thorium underwent alpha decay.


The nuclear product of radioactive decay is called the offspring nuclide. True False?

True. The offspring nuclide is the resulting nucleus that is produced as part of the radioactive decay process.


What nuclide is formed when 90Sr undergoes?

When 90Sr undergoes beta decay, it forms 90Y (Yttrium-90). In beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino are emitted.


When the nuclide astatine-218 undergoes alpha decay?

When astatine-218 undergoes alpha decay, it emits a helium nucleus (alpha particle) and transforms into the new element, polonium-214. This process reduces the atomic number of the nucleus by 2 and the mass number by 4.


Which product is produced when Be-9 undergoes positron decay?

Beryllium-9 is a stable isotope.


When the nuclide bismuth-214 undergoes alpha decay what product nuclide is produced?

Alpha particle is nothing but the He nucleus. He nucleus has two protons and two neturons. So 4 nucleons. As alpha comes out of the parent nucleus, then the by product ie daughter nucleus would have 2 protons less and 4 nucleons less. So 88Ra226 after emitting one alpha particle gets changed into 86 Rn 222. Rn is Radon. So 88Ra226 ----------> 86 Rn 222 + 2 He 4


What is the name of the daughter nuclide?

The daughter nuclide is the atom or atoms that result when a parent nuclide decays through emission of ionizing radiation or through fission.


When iron 59 undergoes beta decay what is the results?

The daughter product in this nuclear process will be cobalt-59, which is stable. One neutron becomes a proton and an electron. The proton remains, adding 1 to the nuclide's atomic number; the electron is emitted as a beta particle.


Which series consists of radioactive nuclides produced by successive radioactive decay until a stable nuclide is reached a. nuclide series b. half-life series c. parent series d. decay series?

Decay Series


What is the result radioactive decay?

One type of atom (nuclide) breaks up, emitting some particle and energy, and converting into another type of nuclide.


What would you call a series of radioactive nuclides produced by radioactive decay until a stable nuclide is reached?

Decay Series


What radioactive decay processes do not reduce the atomic number of a nuclide?

Isomeric transition and internal conversion are examples of radioactive decay processes that do not reduce the atomic number of a nuclide. These processes involve the reorganization of the nucleus rather than changing the number of protons in the atom.
