Usually called a 'decay chain', there is a series of radioactive decays which end with a stable isotope. Ex: uranium undergoes about 14 steps in the decay chain that ends with the formation of a stable isotope of Lead.
Promethium is not in the neptunium series of radioactive decay.
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
ernest Rutherford _______________________________________________________________ Radioactive decay was actually discovered in 1896 by Henri Bacquerel. Ernest Rutherford discovered the formula of radioactive decay (Such as the falk-life, differences between alpha and beta decay and even how the elements become new elements after the decay), but he did not discover the radioactive decay himself.
The rate of decay (activity) of a radioactive isotope is proportional to the number of atoms of the isotope present.
To fully explain radioactive decay you need quantum mechanics.

Enriched Uranium and following it is Plutonium
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
It would end in a stable isotope.
Only the end product of the decay chain of uranium, a non radioactive isotope of lead.
