It depends on which isotope of bismuth we are talking about. Most isotopes less than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta+, and they decay to lead, while most isotopes greater than bismuth-209 that decay by beta do so via beta-, and they decay to polonium.

There are some isotopes that decay by other mechanisms, such as alpha, but the question asked only about beta.

What would be the product of the beta decay of bismuth?

The product of beta decay of bismuth-209 is thallium-209. During beta decay, a neutron in the bismuth nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino.


What is the name of the product nuclide when bismuth-214 undergoes beta decay?

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


What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?

bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206


What is the parent radioisotope if a beta decay produces polonium-214?

Bismuth-214


What pathway would decay polonium-218 to bismuth-214?

Polonium-218 undergoes alpha decay to form lead-214, which then undergoes beta decay to form bismuth-214.


What particle is emitted when lead-214 21482Pb undergoes natural radioactive decay to bismuth-214 21483Bi?

Lead-214 undergoes beta decay to form Bismuth-214. In beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.


Is raduim decays to bismuth how many alpha beta particles are emitted?

Atomic number of radium is 88 and that of bismuth is 83. So atomic number is to be reduced by 5. But as alpha is emitted atomic number reduces by 2. So a beta decay is needed which would increase the atomic number by 1. So 3 alpha decay and one beta decay would make radium into bismuth


What is the daughter product in the beta decay of 144Ce?

The daughter product in the beta decay of 144Ce is 144Pr, which stands for promethium. Promethium is a radioactive element that forms as a result of the beta decay of cerium-144.


What type of radiation is emitted when polonium-212 forms?

Polonium-212 is formed by beta decay of bismuth-212.


What type of radioactive decay occurres when lead-210 becomes bismuth-210?

When lead-210 undergoes radioactive decay to become bismuth-210, it undergoes beta decay. In this process, a neutron in the lead-210 nucleus is converted into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This transformation increases the atomic number by one, resulting in the formation of bismuth-210 while the mass number remains the same.


What is the product of radioactive decay symbolized by called?

A gamma wave...


When bismuth 214 emits a positron the remaining daughter nucleus is what?

When bismuth-214 emits a positron, it undergoes beta-plus decay to produce polonium-214. This decay process involves the conversion of a proton into a neutron, releasing a positron and a neutrino.
