As compared with natural uranium mined in Arizona, enriched uranium is uranium that has a greater proportion of
lead-207.
lead-208.
uranium-235.
uranium-238.
deuterons.
Thorium is a naturally occurring radioactive element. Thorium-232 decays by emitting a single alpha particle to produce radium-228. Write the nuclear equation for this decay of thorium-232.
Write the radioactive decay stated in the following.a. positron emission of Cerium-138b. beta emission of a radioactive nuclide to form Caesium-134c. alpha decay of Erbium-162d. nuclear fission of Uranium-235 to form Caesium-135, four neutrons, and an unknown nuclidee. gamma decay of Gadolinium-152 from its metastable statef. neutron bombardment of a nuclide to produce Vanadium-52 and a proton
