Decay chain (decay series)
The series of decays that certain radioisotopes go through before reaching a stable form. For example, the decay chain that begins with uranium-238 (u-238) ends in lead-206 (pb-206) after forming isotopes, such as uranium-234 (u-234), thorium-230 (th-230), radium-226 (ra-226), and radon-222 (rn-222).
