Alpha Decay

1 answer:

4 0

Thorium 234 is the daughter product of Uranium-238 decays whereas protactinium 234 is the daughter product of Thorium -228.

<h3>What are the products of Uranium-238 and Thorium -228?</h3>

If an atom of Uranium-238 decays via alpha emission, a nucleus of uranium 238 decays by alpha emission to form a daughter nucleus, thorium 234 while If an atom of Thorium -228 decayed via beta emission, the daughter isotope is protactinium 234.

So we can conclude that thorium 234 is the daughter product of Uranium-238 decays whereas protactinium 234 is the daughter product of Thorium -228.

Write the beta decay equation for the following isotope: 15/6 C?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{7}^{15}\text{N}$

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

$\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, ?$

Let's write the question mark as a nuclear symbol.

$\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{Z}^{A}\text{X}$

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.

Then

15 = 0 + A, so A = 15 - 0 = 15, and

6 = -1 + Z, so Z = 6 + 1 = 7

Then, your nuclear equation becomes

$\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{7}^{15}\text{X}$

Element 7 is nitrogen, so the balanced nuclear equation is

$\rm _{6}^{15}\text{C} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{7}^{15}\text{N}$
