One way to identify the type of radioactive decay produced in a reaction is to pass the emission through an electric field. Describe the type of radioactive emission produced from the decay of uranium-
238 to thorium-234 and its reaction to the electric field

Respuesta :

Decay of Uranium-238 produces gamma radiaton whereas decay of thorium-234 releases beta radiation.

What type of radiation is produced?

In the decay of U-238, two gamma rays of different energies are emitted in addition to the alpha particle while on the other hand, in the decay of thorium-234 , beta rays are emitted.

So we can conclude that decay of Uranium-238 produces gamma radiaton whereas decay of thorium-234 releases beta radiation.
