What is the difference between Thorium 230 and Thorium 234 is one more dangerous than the other?

Thorium 230 is an alpha emitter with half life 75,380 years. Therefore it is dangerous if ingested. Alpha particles don't penetrate the skin, so it would not be dangerous to handle carefully, but if ingested alpha particles can damage internal organs. Thorium 234 is a beta emitter with half life 24.1 days. So 230 is the more dangerous.

How is thorium separated from other elements?
Thorium can be separated from other elements by solvent extraction with tributylphosphate.
Do you need to separate any matirials to get thorium?
To obtain pure thorium metal it is necessary to separate thorium from other elements.
How the thorium is isolated?
Thorium as a metal is obtained by a calciothermic process from thorium dioxide. Other methods are: electrolysis of thorium tetrafluoride and thermal decomposition of thorium tetraiodide (Van Arkel-de Boer process).
What are the chemical properties of thorium?
Thorium is a tetravalent element. Thorium react slowly with water; thorium can react with concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen chloride. Thorium can react with the majority of other chemical elements. The Pauling electronegativity of thorium is 1,3.
What are other sources of thorium?
Important minerals of thorium are: monazite, thorite, thorianite, allanite.
What element can thorium be combined with to become complete?
Thorium can react with the majority of the other nonmetals.
What is the difference between different police dogs?
police dogs are trained to sniff out drugs and other dangerous stuff such as like bombs.
The isotopes often called Thorium B and Thorium D are actually isotopes of what other element?
Thorium B is 212Pb: radioactive isotope of lead. Thorium D is 208Pb: stable isotope of lead.
How is thorium mined or gathered?
Thorium can be strip mined and it could be deep mined. It is be produced as a byproduct of the production of rare earth elements, and since the current production as a byproduct far exceeds the demand, it is not usually mined.
Thorium nitrate plus oxalic acid equals?
Th(NO3)4 + 2 H2C2O4-----------Th(C2O4)2 + 4 HNO3 Thorium oxalate is a white powder, toxic, used in the analytical chemistry of thorium and in the technology of thorium separation from other elements.
What other element can thorium be combined with to create a new product?
Thorium can react with many other elements: oxygen, silicon, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, selenium, halogens, etc.
