Question

Now it's time to identify our elements and their decay! Here are listed the final weights of the three isotopes after a time equal to their half-life has passed: 1) Uranium-228 = 991.250 grams 2) Uranium-235m = 1000.000 grams 3) Uranium-239 = 999.999 grams What type of decay is each of the isotopes undergoing? a) 1-alpha decay, 2-gamma decay and 3-beta decay b) 1-alpha decay, 2-beta decay and 3-gamma decay c) 1-gamma decay, 2-beta decay and 3-alpha decay

Step 1

Let's analyze each isotope: 1) Uranium-228: The initial amount is not given, but after one half-life, it has 991.250 grams remaining. This indicates that some decay has occurred. 2) Uranium-235m: The final weight is 1000.000 grams. This means no decay has Show more…
