The disintegration of Uranium-238 (U-238) by emitting an alpha particle (2 protons and 2 neutrons) can be represented by the nuclear equation:

^238U -> ^234Th + ^4He

Substance Y, which is formed by the disintegration of U-238, is represented by Thorium-234 (Th-234).

The disintegration of Thorium-234 (Th-234) by emitting a beta particle (an electron) can be represented by the nuclear equation:

^234Th -> ^234Pa + ^0e

Substance Z, which is formed by the disintegration of Y, is represented by Protactinium-234 (Pa-234).
