(a)

To determine

The decay process of an initial nuclide ${}_Z^A{\text{El}}_{\text{i}}$ to get the final nuclide ${}_{Z+1}^A{\text{El}}_{\text{f}}$.

(b)

To determine

The decay process of an initial nuclide ${}_Z^A{\text{El}}_{\text{i}}$ to get the final nuclide ${}_{Z-2}^{A-4}{\text{El}}_{\text{f}}$.

(c)

To determine

The decay process of an initial nuclide ${}_Z^A{\text{El}}_{\text{i}}$ to get the final nuclide ${}_{Z-1}^A{\text{El}}_{\text{f}}$.
