The isotope radium-223 is used in brachytherapy. The radiation is used to kill cancer cells and reduce tumor size. A radium-223 isotope is produced when a parent nuclide undergoes three α decays and two β decays, not necessarily in any particular order. Give the identity of the parent nuclide in the decay series.
