In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the four radioactive decay chains and identify the decay chain of an isotope from its nuclide symbol.
Q1:
An atom of 249Cf decays to 213Po via a series of š¼ and š½ decays.
How many š¼ decays take place?
How many š½ decays take place?
Q2:
An atom of 239Np decays to 207Pb via a series of š¼ and š½ decays.
Q3:
An atom of 234Th decays to 206Pb via a series of š¼ and š½ decays.
