Question:

The decay chain of 238U is described in some detail in the text. The other naturally occurring heavy nuclide whose decay initiates a decay chain is 232Th. Look up the 232Th decay chain. At what nuclide does it end? How many -particles and how many electrons are emitted in the entire chain? Roughly how long does it take, after the decay of 232Th, for the decay chain to run to conclusion?
