Question
Suppose a uranium-238 nuclide decays into a thorium-234 nuclide by emitting an alpha particle. Complete the nuclear chemical equation below so that it describes this nuclear reaction. \[ \overset{238}{92}\text{U} \rightarrow \square \] The diagram shows a uranium-238 nucleus represented by the chemical symbol \( \overset{238}{92}\text{U} \). The reaction proceeds with an arrow, indicating a transformation into another nuclide. The blank square indicates where the student should fill in the resulting nuclide after the decay process. Additionally, there are two small squares and the gamma (γ) symbol in the upper-right corner, suggesting the presence of different elements or particles to consider when completing the equation.
