∙ 10y agoAs Ra with atomic number radiates an alpha particle then the daughter nucleus will have it atomic number less by 2. So it would be 86. Hence the element is Radon

What element is formed when 60CO emits a beta particle?
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
When a Uranium 238 emits an alpha particle the nucleus left behind has how many protons?
90 protons left
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
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.
When radium emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic number?
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
What element does californium make when it emits an alpha particle?
Curium isotopes
What element does thorium-230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
226 88Ra
What element does thorium 230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
This isotope is radium-226.
What element does thorium become if it emits an alpha particle?
The nuclear reaction is: 232Th--------------- 228Ra + α
What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle and What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle?
dude..
If the isotope bismuth-213 emits an alpha particle two protons and two neutrons which element will be left over?
Emitting an alpha particle 213Bi become 209Tl.
What happens to the atomic number of an element if it emits 1 alpha particle and 1 beta particles?
It drops 2
What element is formed when 60CO emits a beta particle?
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
What is lost from the nucleus of atom when it emits an alpha particle?
2 neutrons and 2 protons (this is what an alpha particle is made up of).
When radon undergoes natural transmutation reaction it emits?
alpha particle
What change in mass occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?
4 from the alpha. Betas have negligible mass and gammas have no mass.
When radium atomic number 88 emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic numbers?
226Ra------------alpha particle----------222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
