The 238U nucleus has a relatively complicated radioactive decay sequence until it becomes a stable 206Pb nucleus. The questions below should help you understand why this sequence is not a simple series of alpha decays, but involves both alpha and beta-minus decays. How many protons and how many neutrons must be removed from the unstable 238U nucleus to decay into a stable 206Pb nucleus? 1)How many protons and neutrons? 2) Find the minimum, actual, and extra number of alpha decays...

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon. It decays into Nitrogen-14 through beta decay, with a half-life of 5730 years. By comparing the amount of radioactive Carbon-14 with the amount of stable Carbon-12 (the most common isotope of carbon), we can determine the age of an object. a) How many protons and neutrons are in Carbon-14? Carbon-12? b) How many years will it take for an object to lose 87.5% of its Carbon-14? c) If 10000 years have passed, what...
