Atom charge after ionizing (nuclei/particle) radiation

[QUOTE="drvrm, post: 5462526, member: 527528"] in alpha deacay the parent say 238U goes to thorium the daughter nucleus and an alpha particle -in this the charge and particle number conservation is obeyed. Thorium has 90 protons whereas U has 92 and the He has those two protons , the process is nuclear so no ionised Uranium is there. Similarly in beta decay -as electron is not present in the nucleus in this process one neutron gets converted to proton and charge conservation is obeyed; as an example 40 K is a beta emitter(z-19) than the product is 40 Ca with Z value 20 and a beta particle i.e. electron. the events are at energies where the atomic electrons/cheges do not have any role.( energies are of the order of MeV in nuclear reaction) whereas in atomic phenomena its of the order of eV or kev.
