How many electrons are there in Thorium?
Thorium is a metal element. There are 90 electrons in a single atom.
What particles can thorium emit?
Alpha particles but also electrons and gamma radiations (Th 232).
Common commpouds of thorium?
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
Can naturally occurring thorium be used as a fuel in N Reactors?
Thorium itself is not a fuel, it does not emit energy. However if it is irradiated in a reactor it forms uranium233 which is a fissile isotope of uranium. Therefore potentially thorium can be used to breed fissile fuel. There are issues around reprocessing however which have not been tackled because the incentive is not there whilst uranium235 is available. Thorium might become important in the future, or for a country which has thorium but not uranium. See link below
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
In the element thorium how many electrons are there?
Thorium has 90 electrons.
How many more neutrons does thorium 230 have then electrons?
Thorium 230 has 90 electrons and 140 neutrons.
How many electrons are there in Thorium?
Thorium is a metal element. There are 90 electrons in a single atom.
How many electrondoes thorium have?
Thorium has 90 electrons.
How many neutrons are in thorium?
232Th has 142 neutrons and 90 protons and electrons.
How many electrons does thorium -230 have?
Thorium 230 has 90 protons and 140 neutrons - the difference is 50.
How many protons neutrons electrons are in thorium?
Thorium-232 has 90 protons and electrons and 142 neutrons.
What is the number of protons and electrons in thorium?
Thorium's atomic number is 90. Thus, thorium has 90 protons per atom. To be electrically neutral then, thorium must also have 90 electrons per atom.
How many electrons are there in the element?
Thorium has 90 electrons.
Which element has 90 electrons as a neutral atom?
Thorium (Th).
What is a thorium nucleus?
Thorium nucleus has 90 protons and electrons and 142 neutrons.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does the element called thorium?
Thorium (232Th) has 90 protons, 9o electrons and 142 neutrons.
