Question

PLEASE ANSWER URGENTLY!! What is the daughter particle if Uranium -234 undergoes beta decay? Write your answer in isotopic notation. ​

Answer 1

²³⁴₉₃Np.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can obtain the daughter particle as follow.

Let ⁿₓM represent the daughter particle.

Thus, the equation for the reaction is given below :

²³⁴₉₂U —> ⁿₓM + ⁰₋₁e

Next, we shall determine n, x and M. This can be obtained as follow:

234 = n + 0

234 = n

n = 234

92 = x + (–1)

92 = x – 1

Volume like terms

92 + 1 = x

93 = x

x = 93

ⁿₓM => ²³⁴₉₃M => ²³⁴₉₃Np

Thus, the equation for the reaction becomes:

²³⁴₉₂U —> ²³⁴₉₃Np + ⁰₋₁e

The daughter particle => ²³⁴₉₃Np
