(II) Two of the naturally occurring radioactive decay

Chapter 30, Problem 54P

(choose chapter or problem)

(II) Two of the naturally occurring radioactive decay sequences start with

\({ }_{90}^{232} \mathrm{Th}\)  and with \({ }_{92}^{235} U\). The first five decays of these two sequences are:
            \(\alpha, \beta, \beta, \alpha, \alpha\)

and

             \(\alpha, \beta, \alpha, \beta, \alpha\)


Determine the resulting intermediate daughter nuclei in each case.
