21283 Bi can disintegrate either by emitting an α -particle or by emitting a β− -particle. (a) Write the two equations showing the products of the decays. (b) The probabilities of disintegration by α - and β -decays are in the ratio 713. The overall half-life of 212 Bi is one hour. If 1 g of pure 212 Bi is taken at 12.00 noon, what will be the composition of this sample at 1 p.m. the same day?
