The physical and chemical decay is not possible in vacuum but nuclear decay can neither be stopped.
not possible
No, transmutation does not occur in gamma decay. Gamma decay is a type of radioactive decay where a nucleus releases a gamma ray photon to reach a more stable state, but the identity of the nucleus remains the same. Transmutation involves the change of one element into another through various nuclear reactions.
Branching decay occurs in the thorium series because there are multiple pathways for the decay of thorium nuclei. Thorium can decay through alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and other processes, leading to different end products with varying probabilities. These branching decay pathways contribute to the overall complexity of the thorium decay chain.
Yes, beta decay is one of the processes that can occur during the rearrangement of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton or a proton into a neutron, along with the emission of a beta particle (electron or positron) and a neutrino.
Thorium-232 is an alpha emitter; rarely decay by spontaneous fission or double beta decay are possible.
Any gas helps decay to occur.
There are several types of decay that can occur in materials, including physical decay (such as wear and tear), chemical decay (such as rusting or corrosion), and biological decay (such as rotting or decomposition).

no
Decay and radiation occur at the atomic level within unstable nuclei of atoms. Decay is the process where an unstable nucleus emits particles or energy to become more stable, while radiation refers to the particles or energy emitted during this process. Both decay and radiation can occur in natural radioactive elements or in artificially created radioactive isotopes.
The question is unclear. First before what? More likely to occur? I am going to assume the latter... Alpha decay is more likely to occur, when both alpha and beta are possible, because alpha decay removes more binding energy from the nuclide, and the tendency is to reduce energy as quickly as possible.
The possible products of the alpha decay of uranium-238 are thorium-234 and helium-4. During alpha decay, the uranium nucleus releases an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into thorium-234.
