**Radioactive Decay of Uranium-238**Radioactive Uranium-²³⁸₉₂U will decay in the following sequence:1. An alpha (α) decay.2. A beta minus (β⁻) decay.3. Another beta minus (β⁻) decay.4. An alpha (α) decay.5. Another alpha (α) decay.In addition to the decays mentioned above, five gamma (γ) particles are also released in this series.**Problem:**Write the daughter nucleus in the form \( \frac{A}{Z} \text{X} \) where \( A \) is the mass number, \( Z \) is the charge number, and \( \text{X} \) is the element. A periodic table may be used.This series of decays and particle emissions leads from Uranium-238 to another element. By following the decay processes, students can identify the resultant daughter nucleus.

Identification and Characterization of Unstable and Stable Nuclei Nuclear stability can in general be predicted based on the following considerations: • Nuclei with 84 protons or more are unstable. • Nuclei containing a magic number of protons and/or neutrons tend to be stable. • Stable nuclei often contain even numbers of protons and/or neutrons. These factors are reflected in the given graph (Figure 1). which shows the valley of stability as a function of number of neutrons and protons.
