A decay chain, also known as a radioactive decay series, refers to a sequence of radioactive decays in which a parent nuclide decays into one or more daughter nuclides. This process continues until a stable nuclide is formed. Each step in the decay chain involves the transformation of one radioactive isotope into another, which may also be radioactive, until all unstable isotopes have decayed into stable ones.
