(a)
Interpretation: Progressive decay series of Thorium-
Concept introduction: Nuclei of radioactive element decompose in various ways. There are two major categories. One involves a change in mass number of the decaying nucleus while others do not. Types of radioactive processes include
Beta particle production decay involves the production of beta particle
A helium nucleus
