90Th232 undergoes alpha decay to form 88Ra228.
Remember, in alpha decay, a helium nuclei is emitted, comprising two protons and two neutrons. As a result, the atomic number goes down by 2, and the Atomic Mass number goes down by 4.

Beta decay of neodymium-144?
Nope, Neodymium-144 undergoes Alpha decay to Cerium-140.
What are the possible products of the alpha decay of uranium-238?
The only possible product of the alpha decay of 92238U is 90234Th.
What is a nucleus that is unstable and undergoes decay?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Is uranium 238 a slow or fast neutron absorber?
uranium 238 is a fast neutron absorber the answer is correct but for more explanation:- when uranium 238 is bombard by neutron >>> uranium 238 , undergoes B decay>>>Np 239 ,undergoes B decay >>> Pu 239 finally undergoes alpha decay >>> fissile U
The emission of electromagnetic energy from an atomic nucleus is called decay?
gamma
Which product is produced when Be-9 undergoes positron decay?
Beryllium-9 is a stable isotope.
A noble gas that is produced when radium undergoes radioactivity decay?
Yes, radon is a decay product in the uranium, thorium and actinium decay series.
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of Po210 if it undergoes 2 alpha decay then a beta decay followed by another alpha decay.?
92Au 282Xe +13S
What is the product of radioactive decay called?
Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle
If Sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay what will it become?
S-34 is stable. It will not decay.
Uranium -238 undergoes alpha decay Therefore uranium -238 will?
Uranium 238 is transformed in thorium 234 by alpha decay.
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
If seaborgium undergoes alpha decay which element is created?
Isotopes of rutherfordium.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
Beta decay of neodymium-144?
Nope, Neodymium-144 undergoes Alpha decay to Cerium-140.
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 is the alpha decay of calcium 42 equation?
There is no equation. Calcium-42 is stable and does not decay. Calcium is also much to light for alpha decay, which requires elements heavier than nickel, so no isotope of calcium undergoes alpha decay.
