Why must the final product of a decay series be stable? the daughter isotope of any radioactive decay is stable. no decay chain can emit more than two particles. each decay results in a net loss of particles. if the daughter isotope is unstable, it will decay.

If the daughter isotope is unstable, it will decay.

Explanation:

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

The less stable nuclei is called the parent nuclei and the resulting nuclei is called as the daughter nuclei.

Thus if the daughter nuclei is stable it would not decay further and a decay series takes place in which each subsequent nuclei decays until a stable nuclei is finally produced.

here are some of the ways in which chemical and nuclear reactions differ.
