Lead-210 can be formed by the decay of either thallium-210 or polonium-214, depending on what type of radiation is emitted. Write a balanced nuclear equation for each process. For alpha, beta, and gamma particles be sure to use the appropriate Greek symbol. A Give all nuclei in the form X. Thallium-210 to lead-210 decay: Polonium-214 to lead-210 decay: 1 1
