Chapter 15, Problem 18QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation for the alpha decay of U92234 is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Radioactivity refers to the spontaneous emission of radiation. The unstable atoms give up excess energy through radioactive decay in the form of radiation to form more stable atoms.

There are different types of radioactive decay and one of them is alpha decay. In alpha decay, nucleus emits an alpha particle. The resulting nucleus has atomic number reduced by two units and mass number reduced by four units.
