It has been observed that Thorium (_90234)Th is transformed into Protactinium (_91234)Pa after the emission of particle:
- A
Alpha
- B
Beta
- C
Gamma
- D
Alpha, Beta, Gamma
When a β-particle is emitted out of any nucleus, then its mass number does not change but its charge number is increases by one. In this case, Thorium (90Th²³⁴) is transformed into proctactanium (91Pa²³⁴) after the emission of β-particle.
