removal of Th X, always shows a residual activity of about 25 per
cent. of the maximum value. This very small residual activity indicates that actinium, if completely freed from all its products, would not give out rays at all, in other words, the first change in actinium is a rayless one.
The radio-active products of actinium are shown graphically in Fig. 84. Some of their chemical and physical properties are tabulated below.
