What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
What is the equation for alpha decay of Thorium?
232Th --> 228Ra + 4He 228Ra --> 228Ac + e- 228Ac --> 228Th + e- 228Th --> 224Ra + 4He 224Ra --> 220Rn + 4He 220Rn --> 216Po + 4He 216Po --> 212Pb + 4He 212Pb --> 212Bi + e- 212Bi --> 208Tl + 4He, 212Po + e- 208Tl --> 208Pb + e- 212Po --> 208Pb + 4He 208Pb, stable Other isotopes of Thorium undergo beta decay, but they are not naturally occurring.
What will U-244 turn into after alpha decay?
If a uranium-244 atom undergoes alpha decay, it will become an atom of thorium-240. If we wrote an equation, it might look like this:92244U => 90240Th + 24He++The uranium-244 is transmuted into throium-240, and the alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus (and represented as such) emerges at the tail end of the equation.
What is the equation for the alpha decay of uranium -237?
The equation for the alpha decay of 233Pu:94233Pu --> 92229U + 24He2+where the alpha particle is represented as a helium nucleus.Note that 233Pu decays by alpha decay with a probability of only 0.12%. The other 99.88% is Beta+ decay.
What is the beta decay equation of radium-222?
The equation for the alpha decay of radon-222 takes the following form. Radon-222 ----> He + Polonium. In an alpha decay, the atom loses 2 neutrons and 2 protons.
What is the balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium 230?

What is a good decay equation for uranium decay's to alpha decay?
There are 3 naturally occurring isotopes of Uranium, all decay by alpha to Thorium:238U --> 234Th + 4He235U --> 231Th + 4He234U --> 230Th + 4He
When thorium decays by producing an alpha praticle the product nuclide is?
The decay of thorium by alpha decay the resultant nuclide is the element radium. The specific nuclide of radium cannot be determined unless we know which specific nuclide of thorium underwent alpha decay.
