∙ 14y agoThe change 232Th90 --> 228Ra88 + 4He2 is an example of the alpha decay of Thorium 232 to Radon 228.
The thorium atom has shed an alpha particle (He-4 nuclei) for a total reduction in atomic weight from 232 to 228 and proton count from 90 to 88.

How would you write a nuclear equation for the most likely mode of decay for the unstable nuclide Kr-74?
Krypton-74 will most likely undergo beta decay, and the type of beta decay an observer will encounter will be beta plus decay. A proton in the nucleus will undergo a change and become a neutron, and a positron (e+) and an antineutrino (ve) will emerge from the reaction. The krypton-74 atom will transmute into a bromine-74 atom. The equation will look something like this: 3674Kr => 3574Br + e+ + ve

How do you write a balanced nuclear equation for the positron emission of nitrogen-13?
If oxygen-16 was to undergo positron emission (beta plus decay), a proton in its nucleus would transform into a neutron (mediated by the weak force). The oxygen-16 would become nitrogen-16, and we'd see a positron and a neutrino appear. The equation might look like this: 816O => 716N + e+ + ve It is easy to write a balanced nuclear equation for any nuclide undergoing positron emission. Note the subscript numerals at the beginning of each element. That's the atomic number of that element. The superscript numerals are the atomic mass of the nuclide. When beta plus decay occurs, nuclear transformation takes place. The atomic number of the element goes down by one, and one element becomes another element. The subscripted numerals will reflect that decrease of one, and the atomic mass (the superscripted numerals) will remain the same. Note the last two factors in the equation, as they are the positron and the neutrino, respectively. That's the long and short of the beta plus decay of O-16, as asked. We'll add, however, that oxygen-16 is a stable isotope of oxygen. It does not undergo beta decay, but for the sake of argument, it did here. And with the results shown. By the way, it is oxygen-15 that is the radioactive isotope of oxygen that will undergo beta plus decay. You'll find links below for more information.
