    The answer to your question is U-234

    Explanation:

    Data

    Thorium-234

    beta emission twice

    Definition

    Beta emission is when a beta particle (electron) is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

    First beta emission

    ²³⁴₉₀Th ⇒ ²³⁴₉₁Pa + e⁻

    Second beta emission

    ²³⁴₉₁ Pa ⇒ ²³⁴₉₂U + e⁻

    The atom will be Uranium-324
