A rock contains 0.617 mg of 206Pb for every 1.000 mg of 238U present. Assuming that no lead was originally present, that all the 206Pb formed over the years has remained in the rock, and that the number of nuclides in intermediate stages of decay between 238U and 206 Pb is negligible, calculate the age of the rock. (For 238U, t1/2 = 4.5 X 109 years.)
The uranium decay series from U-238 to stable lead (Pb-206) is: 238U → 234 Th → 234Pa → 234U → 230 Th → 210Pb → 210Bi → 210PO → 206 Pb Th - Pb → Bi → Po → 226 Ra → 222Rn → 92 90 91 92 88 86 84 83 84 Of the 15 nuclei from U-238 to Pb-206, list those radionuclides that are alpha-particle emitters, and those that are beta-particle emitters.
