To write a balanced nuclear reaction showing the emission of a beta particle by Thorium-234 (Th-234), we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the parent nucleus The parent nucleus is Thorium-234, which is represented as \( _{90}^{234}\text{Th} \). ### Step 2: Understand beta decay In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, and a beta particle (which is an electron) is emitted. This process increases the atomic number by 1 while keeping the mass number the same. ...
