Question

When equation decays in part of the uranium decay series, there are two pathways, one of alpha emission and one of beta emission. When equation emits a beta particle, what is the product?

Answer 1

Answer:

The product of emission of beta particle from uranium 238 will be Uranium 239

Explanation:

There are two type of beta decay

β− decay and β+ decay

Let us assume here the decay is β− decay for Uranium 238

Uranium 238 will decay β− to produce Uranium 239

Hence, the product of emission of beta particle from uranium 238 will be Uranium 239
