(a) Calculate the energy released when a U-238 isotope decays to Th-234. The atomic masses are as follows. U-238: 238.05078 amu; Th-234: 234.03596 amu; and He-4:4.002603 amu. (b) The energy released in part (a) is transformed into the kinetic energy of the recoiling Th-234 nucleus and the α particle. Which of the two will move away faster? Explain
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the solution.
