The inhalation of radon-222 and its decay to form other isotopes poses a health hazard.  Write balanced nuclear equations for the decay of radon-222 to lead-206 in eight steps. Show step 1 below, and show steps 2-8 are on the next page.   1. Step 1: Radon-222 decays by alpha emission. (Radon has the element symbol Rn.)   2. Step 2:The daughter product in step 1 decays by alpha emission and is in a high energy state.  3. Step 3:The high energy daughter product in part b decays by beta and gamma emissions and is  in a high energy state.  4. Step 4:The daughter product in part c decays by beta and gamma emissions and is in a high  energy state  5. Step 5:The high energy daughter product in part d decays by beta emission.  6. Step 6:The daughter product in part e decays by alpha emission and is in a high energy state.  7. Step 7:The high energy daughter product in part f decays by beta and gamma emissions and is in a high energy state.  8. Step 8:The high energy daughter product in part g decays by alpha and gamma emissions.  The final stable isotope is lead-206.
