Chapter 21, Problem 21.23QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The following radioactive decay series should be full filled by identifying the exact radioactive particle.

Concept Introduction:

• Nuclear equation:
• A nuclear reaction is said to be balanced nuclear equation when the sums of the superscript and the sums of the subscripts must be equal on each equation.

  Emitting particle showing by the radioactive decay species

• ${\text{α=He}}_{\text{2 }}^{\text{4 }}$ Alpha particle
• $\text{β= }{e}_{\text{-1}}^{\text{0 }}$ Beta - particle
• $n_0^1$ Neutron
• ${\text{H}}_1^1$-protium

To identify: full filled the gap by the radioactive particle.
