The balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium-232 is:
\[
^{232}_{90}\text{Th} \rightarrow ^{228}_{88}\text{Ra} + ^{4}_{2}\text{He}
\]
In this equation, thorium-232 (Th) decays into radium-228 (Ra) and an alpha particle (He).
\[
^{232}_{90}\text{Th} \rightarrow ^{228}_{88}\text{Ra} + ^{4}_{2}\text{He}
\]
In this equation, thorium-232 (Th) decays into radium-228 (Ra) and an alpha particle (He).
