purcell rabi rutherford soddy strassmann świątecki szilárd teller thomson walton wigner physics portal category v t e in nuclear physics a decay product also known as a daughter product daughter isotope radio daughter or daughter nuclide is the remaining nuclide left over from radioactive decay radioactive decay often proceeds via a sequence of steps decay chain for example 238 u decays to 234 th which decays to 234m pa which decays and so on to 206 pb which is stable u 238 th 234 daughter of 238 u pa 234 m granddaughter of 238 u pb 206 decay products of 238 u displaystyle ce 238 u overbrace underbrace ce 234 th _ ce daughter of 238 u ce underbrace ce 234 m pa _ ce granddaughter of 238 u ce cdots 206 pb ce decay products of 238 u the decay chain from lead 212 down to lead 208 showing the intermediate decay products in this example 234 th 234m pa 206 pb are the decay products of 238 u 234 th is the daughter of the parent 238 u 234m pa 234 metastable is the granddaughter of 238 u these might also be referred to as the daughter products of 238 u 1 decay products are important in understanding radioactive decay and the management of radioactive waste for elements above lead in atomic number the decay chain typically ends with an isotope of lead or bismuth bismuth itself decays to thallium but the decay is so slow as to be practically negligible in many cases individual members of the decay chain are as radioactive as the parent but far smaller in volume mass thus although uranium is not dangerously radioactive when pure some pieces of naturally occurring pitchblende are quite dangerous owing to their radium 226 content 2 which is soluble and not a ceramic like the parent similarly thorium gas mantles are very slightly radioactive when new but become more radioactive after only a few months of storage as the daughters of 232 th build up although it cannot be predicted whether any given atom of a radioactive substance will decay at any given time the decay products of a radioactive substance are extremely predictable because of this decay products are important to scientists in many fields who need to know the quantity or type of the parent product such studies are done to measure pollution levels in and around nuclear facilities and for other matters see also edit decay chain references edit glossary of volume 7 archived 2017 01 03 at
