Hey all,
I got this crazy wacked question in chem. It says: Use a flow diagram to trace the sequence of fission products released during the decay of uranium.

So what I put was a list of all the decay products of Uranium-238, all the way down to the stable Lead-206. Along the way I put what kind of radiation was formed (a,b,g). But I just sent it to a friend, cause he wanted to look at something else in the document, and he reckons it's wrong, what I put; he thinks I need to put the Neutrons that are spat out, and he thinks that the two products formed when a Uranium-238 atom is hit by a neutron are different. Who is right?

My answer looks similar to the following, just the layout is different:

Thanks, Mitch
