What is the stable nucleus produced at the end of the decay steps in a uranium decay series?

Thorium, radium, radon, polonium, thallium, etc.


What isotope remains after the alpha decay of polonium 212?

Polonium 212 has 84 protons and 128 neutrons. An alpha particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so the daughter nucleus will have 82 protons and 126 neutrons, making it lead 208.

What eleme NT is nonradioactive decay in uranium?

Lead, the isotope Pb 206.


Uranium decay chain ends when the final disintegrarion product is the stable element?

All radioactive elements eventually decay to lead (Pb). There a numerous isotopes of lead and it is thought that all the lead(Pb) in the world is derived from decayed radioactive isotopes.
