For example, the decay chain that begins with Uranium-238 culminates in Lead-206, after forming intermediates such as Uranium-234, Thorium-230, Radium-226, and Radon-222. Also called the "decay series.". Each series has its own unique decay chain. The decay products within the chain are always radioactive.

uranium, thorium, radium, and radon emit radiation to reach a more stable condition. This process is called radioactive decay. By measuring the type of radiation emitted, the specific energy level or levels of radiation and the rate of decay, scientists are able to identify a radioactive substance and determine how much of it is present.
