Question
In the Po-218 natural decay series, the Po-218 initially undergoes a decay, the resulting daughter emits a ß
particle, and the succeeding daughters emit a a and B particle in that order. Determine the product of each
step in the Po-218 decay series.
Enter the symbol, mass number and atomic number of each product.
(Express your answer as an isotope.)
