Question

What daughter product is produced when thallium-206, an isotope of thallium, undergoes beta minus decay?

Answer 1

Answer: Daughter product that is formed after the beta-minus decay of $_{81}^{206}\textrm{Th}$ is $_{82}^{206}\textrm{Pb}$

Explanation: Beta-minus decay is a process in which an unstable radioactive atom forms a stable molecule.

In this decay, a neutron results in the formation of a proton and an electron.

Beta-minus decay of $_{81}^{206}\textrm{Th}$ follows:

$_{81}^{206}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{82}^{206}\textrm{Pb}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Daughter product is $_{82}^{206}\textrm{Pb}$
