AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining the relationship between the daughter nucleus and the parent nucleus after the decay process, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Parent Nucleus Let’s denote the parent radioactive nucleus as \( M \) with a mass number \( A \) and atomic number \( Z \). ### Step 2: Emission of Alpha Particle When the nucleus emits one alpha particle, the following changes occur: - The mass number decreases by 4 (since the mass number of an alpha particle is 4). ...
