The following nuclear reaction what will be the atomic mass of the decay product after two alpha particles are emitted?

230/92 Th—>2 4/2 He +_______

1 answer

We have a major problem here. 92 is not Th. It is U. To find the products you make the top numbers add up and the bottom numbers add up. It's that simple but I will start with U and not Th
230/92 Th—>2 4/2 He +_______

230/92 U ==> 4/2 He + 226/90 Th
226/90 Th ==> 4/2 He + 222/88Ra
