2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1radionuclide, nuclide Explanation: You could use either of these. It is an isotope, but nuclide is more appropriate. The use of "led" does not refer to a full chain, but rather to one link or step of a chain, namely the chain of radioactive decay starting with uranium-238 and ending at lead-206. For this reason, I would not use "parent" - even though radium-226 is indeed the parent nuclide of radon-222, it is also the decay product (or daughter product) of thorium-230. Element is to vague. And by the way, this is physics rather than chemistry. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 timmar (2018-02-23 13:25:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclide-basics-radium https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK230654/ |
