To find the speed of the alpha particle produced during the decay of \( _{92}P^{235} \) to \( _{90}Q^{231} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the decay reaction The decay can be represented as: \[ _{92}P^{235} \rightarrow _{90}Q^{231} + _{2}\alpha^{4} \] This shows that the parent nucleus \( P^{235} \) decays into the daughter nucleus \( Q^{231} \) and an alpha particle. ...

    Refer to illustration 5.10 , the energy released by the alpha - decay of ._(92)^(238) U is found to be 4.3 MeV . Since this energy is carried away as kinetic energy of the recoiling ._(90)^(234)Th . nucleus and the alpha - particles, it follows that KE_(Th) +KE_(alpha )=4.3 MeV . However, KE_Th and KE_alpha are not equal. Which particle carries away more kinetic energy, the overset(234)(90)Th nucleus or the alpha - particle? .
