When uranium-238 is transformed into thorium-234, it is represented by a balanced equation. What is missing from the equation of U-238 undergoing radioactive decay?
The unstable atomic nucleus of Uranium-238 emits ionizing particles and loses energy in order to achieve a stable state. This process is called the Radioactive decay. This isotope undergoes Alpha decay by emitting Alpha rays. It has a decay energy of 4.267 MeV.
