Solution

In alpha decay the mass number is reduced by four and the atomic number by two R 86 224 a.

P 92 238 u

In beta minus decay the P 15 32 S 16 32 + β 1 0

B 83 210 i P 84 210 o+ β 1 0

After beta plus decay C 6 11 B 5 11 + β 1 0 +

After beta plus decay T 43 97 c M 42 97 o

When the electron is captured by the xenon then

X 54 12 e+ e 1 I 53 120
