Thorium is an element that occurs naturally in the earth's crust. The only naturally occurring isotope of thorium is 232Th and i

t is unstable and radioactive. The first step in the Thorium decay chain is the emission of an alpha particle. Which of these nuclei emerges from the decay?
A) 22888Ra

A, radium-228. Alpha radiation is essentially just two protons and two neutrons leaving the atom, causing the atomic number to drop by two (since the protons left) and the mass number to drop by four (since two neutrons and protons left).

A.228_88Ra

In alpha decay a helium nucleus, 42He, is emitted. Since the total number of nucleons must be conserved, the atomic number of the parent nucleus must decrease by two, and the mass number must decrease by four. Here, the new atomic number is 90 - 2 = 88, and new mass number is 232 - 4 = 228.

Characteristics of an atom
Doss [256]

Answer:

It is composed of protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. Protons, neutrons, and the electrons surrounding them are long-lived particles present in all ordinary, naturally occurring atoms. Other subatomic particles may be found in association with these three types of particles.

Explanation:

Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
