Detailed explanation-1: -Alpha Decay of 234U into 230Th.
Detailed explanation-2: -AI Recommended Answer: So, after it emits an alpha particle, Thorium-230 will decay by emitting a 22688Ra atom.
Detailed explanation-3: -In this beta decay, a thorium-234 nucleus has one more proton than the original nucleus. In this beta decay, a thorium-234 nucleus has become a protactinium-234 nucleus. Protactinium-234 is also a beta emitter and produces uranium-234.
Detailed explanation-4: -Alpha decay is a nuclear decay process where an unstable nucleus changes to another element by shooting out a particle composed of two protons and two neutrons. This ejected particle is known as an alpha particle and is simply a helium nucleus. Alpha particles have a relatively large mass and a positive charge.
