decays into 
by the emission of an 
particle. There follows a chain of further radioactive decays, either by 
decay or by 
- decay. Eventually a stable nuclide is reached and after that, no further radioactive decay is possible. Which of the following stable nuclides is the and product of the 
radioactive decay chain?
