a. The alpha decay of radon-198:
^198Rn -> ^194Po + ^4He
In this equation, an alpha particle (^4He) is emitted from the radon-198 nucleus, resulting in the production of polonium-194.
b. The beta decay of uranium-237:
^237U -> ^237Np + e-
In this equation, a beta particle (e-) is emitted from the uranium-237 nucleus, resulting in the production of neptunium-237.
^198Rn -> ^194Po + ^4He
In this equation, an alpha particle (^4He) is emitted from the radon-198 nucleus, resulting in the production of polonium-194.
b. The beta decay of uranium-237:
^237U -> ^237Np + e-
In this equation, a beta particle (e-) is emitted from the uranium-237 nucleus, resulting in the production of neptunium-237.
