The radioactive element francium undergoes a series of nuclear decays, eventually forming a stable isotope of lead. One part of the process involves francium-221 undergoing two alpha decays, followed by a beta decay. 1st attempt What is the element formed after this portion of the decay series? See Hint

Switch Questions Mode I'm Fras! Alpha Decay something.. During Alpha decay what is happening to the nucleus in order to try and stabilize the atom? O A. The nucleus is shooting off a particle the size of a helium atom, 2 proton and 2 neutrons and decaying to a different element. The nucleus is shooting off the "-" out of a neutron in the nucleus causing it to turn into another proton. The atom now turns into OB. a new element with one more proton. O C. The nucleus is shooting off a burst of energy called a "photon" to help stabilize the nucleus. Flag for follow-up DELL F8 F9
