Question

Transcribed Image Text:81 Figure 42-20 shows part of the decay scheme of 257NP on a plot
of mass number A versus proton number Z; five lines that represent
either alpha decay or beta-minus decay connect dots that represent
isotopes. What is the isotope at the end of the five decays (as marked
with a question mark in Fig. 42-20)?
