214Bi decays to isotope A by alpha emission; A then decays to B by beta emission, which decays to C by another beta emission. Element C decays to D by still another beta emission, and D decays by alpha emission to a stable isotop, E. What is the proper symbol of element E? (Contributed by Prof. W.J. Wysochansky, Georgia Southern University.)
