Answer: -

²²³Ra is the daughter nuclide produced when ²²⁷Th undergoes alpha decay

Explanation: -

When alpha decay occurs, the mass number of the parent decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

Mass number of ²²⁷Th =227

Atomic number of ²²⁷Th = 90

Mass number of daughter = 227 - 4 = 223

Atomic number of daughter = 90 - 2 = 88

88 is the atomic number of Ra Radium.

Thus the daughter is ²²³Ra
