Complete the following decay schemes.

(a) 226Ra α +


(b) 19O


(c)


a) As one alpha particle is produced so the mass number will decrease by 4 and the atomic number by 2,

Resultant reaction:



b) As fluorine is produced so the atomic number increases by 1, which suggests β-decay and usually β decay occurs with a loss of an antineutrino



c) A similar reaction as the previous one, atomic number decreases by one so β+ emission occurs
