The nuclide thorium-230 undergoes alpha emission to give radium-226
Thorium-230 undergoes alpha decay, a form of nuclear decay in which an alpha particle is ejected from the nucleus, and as a result, produces alpha radiation. Because of the imbalance in the energy working to hold the nucleus together or drive the nucleus apart caused by unstable isotopes' neutron to proton ratio, these isotopes are unstable.
This thorium then changes into protactinium 234 and experiences beta-negative decay to yield uranium 234 as a byproduct. With a half-life of 245,000 years, this final isotope progressively decays into thorium 230, another unstable nucleus. Only the creation of a stable nucleus can end any such decay chain.
The nuclide whose radioactive decay product is a certain daughter nuclide is referred to as the parent nuclide (plural parent nuclides) in physics.
