What is the nuclear decay equation for an example of alpha decay?
GeoHarvey
There are a number of radioactive isotopes of copper, choosing 66Cu as on that undergoes negative beta decay, the equation is:
2966Cu --> 3066Zn + -10e
Where e represents the beta particle, which can also be viewed as an electron.

What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of uranium 239?
Uranium-239 does NOT decay by alpha decay, it decays only by beta and gammadecay.
What is the nuclear decay equation for plutonium 239?
The first step is an alpha decay to (guess what!) uranium 235. You can probably take it from there.

What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of 242 Pu?
Plutonium-241 decays by both beta- and alpha decay. For beta- decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 95241Am + e- + v-eNot asked but answered for completeness sake, for alpha decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 92237U +24He2+
Which nuclear reaction is classified as alpha decay?
The equation for the alpha decay of 210Po is:84210Po --> 82206Pb + 24He where He represents the alpha particle, which can also be viewed as a Helium nucleus.

What is the balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium 230?
Th-230(alpha)Ra-226.
What is the nuclear decay equation for uranium 233?
The equation for the alpha decay of 233U is: 92233U --> 90229Th + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 223U can also undergo fission, but since this is an rather unpredictable process, there is no standard equation.
What is the nuclear decay equation for uranium 235?
The equation for the alpha decay of 235U is: 92235U --> 90231Th + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 235U also decays by spontaneous fission, but the results are somewhat unpredictable, so there is no standard equation.
