Radioactive Uranium 325U will decay in the following sequence: First an a decay, next a B-decay, then another - decay, another a decay 92 and finally another a decay. Five y particles are also released in this series. Write the daughter nucleus in the form 4X where A is the mass number, Z is the charge number and X is the element. A periodic table may be used.
