What two elements make up radium?
Radium is a decay product of uranium, thorium or neptunium.
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 beta decay of radium 226?
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.
What isotopes remains after the alpha decay of uranium-238?
232U alpha decays to 228Th. Thorium-228 is the daughter product of the alpha decay of uranium-232.
What is the first decay product of uranium upon alpha decay?
It is thorium 234.
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.
What two elements make up radium?
Radium is a decay product of uranium, thorium or neptunium.
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 element does thorium 230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
This isotope is radium-226.
What kind of mineral is radium?
Radium is a white metal that does not occur in a free state; it must be refined from pitchblende and occurs naturally only as a disintegration product in the radioactive decay of thorium, uranium, or actinium.
How is radium formed on earth?
Radium 226 (the most stable isotope) is a radioactive decay product of uranium; other isotopes of radium with short half lives exist in the thorium, actinium and neptunium decay series. See the link.
What is the beta decay of radium 226?
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.
Radium is one of the alkaline earth metals -However its only natural source is uranium-why?
Because radium is a decay product of uranium or thorium.
Determine what type of decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231?
Thorium 234: Beta decay. Atomic number increases by 1.
What is beta decay of thorium 234?
Protactinium 234 is a decay product of thorium 234; the nuclear reaction is: 23490Th-----------beta rays-------------23491Pa
What happens when thorium 234 undergoes beta decay?
You'd have to specify the isotope of thorium for us to definitively identify the isotope produced. A thorium atom that undergoes alpha decay will become a radium atom. However, we can't identify the specific isotope of radium without knowing the number of neutrons in the original thorium atom.
Which noble gas occur when decay of uranium and radium occurs?
This noble gas is radon.
