    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
