One radioactive series that begins with uranium- 235 and ends with lead-207 undergoes this sequence of emission reactions: $\alpha, \beta, \alpha, \beta, \alpha, \alpha, \alpha, \alpha, \beta, \beta, \alpha .$ Identify the radioisotope produced in each of the last six steps.
The uranium- 235 radioactive decay series, beginning with $^{235}_{92} \mathrm{U}$ and ending with $^{207}_ {82} \mathrm{Pb}$ occurs in the following sequence: $\alpha, \beta, \alpha, \beta, \alpha, \alpha, \alpha, \alpha, \beta, \beta, \alpha$ Write an equation for each step in this series.
