Nuclear decay chain,thorium series. Diagram of the nuclear decay chain of thorium-232 (Th-232) with isotopes (shown by chemical symbols) plotted by mass number (A) against atomic number (Z). Isotopes are colour-coded by their primary decay route (purple,red arrows: alpha decay; blue,blue arrows: beta decay). Decays are rare (dotted lines) or dominant (solid lines). The dominant route (yellow) ends with the stable (green) lead-208 (Pb-208). Other elements in this natural decay chain are: actinium (Ac),radium (Ra),radon (Rn),polonium (Po),bismuth (Bi),and thallium (Tl) | |
