When uranium-238 decays, it emits 8 alpha particles and 6 beta particles before finally becoming stable daughter product; what is the atomic number and mass number of the daughter product? show your work.
(geology; geologic time)

The atomic number and mass number of daughter product is 206 and 82

Explanation:

The atomic weight of uranium is 292 dalton and the atomic number is 92.

         When this radioactive atom emits 8 alpha particles then its atomic weight is decreased by 8*4=32units and the atomic number is decreased by 8*2=16 unit.As a result the newly formed daughter atom have an atomic weight of 206 dalton and atomic number of 76 units.

       Now the newly formed daughter atom emits 6 beta particle then its atomic weight will remain unchanged but the atomic number will be increased by 6 units.As a result final atom will have an atomic weight of 206 dalton and atomic number 82.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
