For each of the following identify the progeny and the parti

For each of the following, identify the progeny and the particles emitted Some nuclides may decay by more than one method; if so list the decay modes in order of probability of occurrence

Solution

¹⁰¹Nb -------> (beta -) ¹⁰¹Mo 100%

¹⁰⁹Sn -------> (beta +) ¹⁰⁹In    100%

²³³ Pu ------> (beta+) ²³³Np     100%

¹⁰⁹Ag -----> (beta+) ¹⁰⁸Pd   - 91.3%

         -----> (IT) ¹⁰⁸Ag    - 8.96%

²³N does not exist if it exist it could decay

As ²³N ----> (beta -) ²³O

Or ²³ N ---> (beta+) ²³C

Or ²³N ---> (alpha) ¹⁹B
