Write a partial decay series for Rn-220 undergoing the following sequential decays: á (alpha decay), á, â(beta decay), á. (Enter the mass number in the first raised box, the atomic number in the second lower box and the symbol of the element in the third box. Enter the nuclide that is produced before the decay particle. Use e for an electron. Use the format +1 or -1 for charge.)

below is what i have to answer and in the order. This is from webassign so there would be boxes for me to put the numbers and letters in.

á decay

á decay

â decay

á decay

thanks:)

α decay: 220 (mass number), 86 (atomic number), Rn (symbol)

This decay produces: 216, 84, Po

α decay: 216, 84, Po
This decay produces: 212, 82, Pb

β decay: 212, 82, Pb
This decay produces: 212, 83, Bi

α decay: 212, 83, Bi
This decay produces: 208, 81, Tl

To determine the partial decay series for Rn-220, we need to consider the sequence of decays given (alpha, alpha, beta, alpha) and identify the resulting nuclides at each step.

1. Alpha decay (á):
Rn-220 decays by emitting an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, reducing the mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2. Therefore, Rn-220 á decay results in Rn-216.

2. Alpha decay (á):
Rn-216 also undergoes alpha decay, following the same pattern. Alpha decay results in the emission of an alpha particle, reducing the mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2. Thus, Rn-216 á decay produces Rn-212.

3. Beta decay (â):
Now, Rn-212 undergoes beta decay, which involves the conversion of a neutron into a proton while emitting an electron (â- decay). The electron carries away both energy and charge. This transformation increases the atomic number by 1, while the mass number remains the same. As a result, Rn-212 â decay gives rise to Po-212.

4. Alpha decay (á):
Lastly, Po-212 undergoes alpha decay. It releases an alpha particle, leading to a decrease in the mass number by 4 and the atomic number by 2. Therefore, Po-212 á decay forms Pb-208.

In summary, the partial decay series for Rn-220 undergoing á, á, â, á decay is as follows:

Rn-220 → Rn-216 → Rn-212 → Po-212 → Pb-208.
