If the thorium-232 isotope emits an alpha particle, what would be the atomic number of the resulting atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
inysia [295]3 years ago
4 0

<span>Answer is: atomic number of resulting atom is 88.
Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.
Nuclear reaction: ²³</span>²Th → ²²⁸Ra + α (alpha particle).

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

If the half-life of a radioisotope is 10,000 years, the amount remaining after 20,000 years is
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Considering the half-life of 10,000 years, after 20,000 years we will have a fourth of the remaining amount.

Explanation:

The half-time is the time a radioisotope takes to decay and lose half of its mass. Therefore, we can make the following scheme to know the amount remaining after a period of time:

Time_________________ Amount

t=0_____________________x

t=10,000 years____________x/2

t=20,000 years___________x/4

During the first 10,000 years the radioisotope lost half of its mass. After 10,000 years more (which means 2 half-lives), the remaining amount also lost half of its mass. Therefore, after 20,000 years, the we will have a fourth of the initial amount.
