Expert Solution
Step 1

Radioactive decay or disintegration or nuclear decay or simple radioactivity can be defined as the unstable nucleus XZA where A is atomic mass and Z is atomic number releases energy in the form of radiation via different types as;

α-decay               ⇒             XZA  →    X'Z-2A-4   +   α24

β-decay               ⇒              XZA  →    XZ+1A'   +   β-10           

Positron emission  ⇒            XZA  →    XZ-1A'   +   β+10

Electron capture    ⇒            XZA  →    XZ-1A'   +   X-ray

Gamma emission   ⇒            XZA  →    X'ZA   +   γ00
