SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the chemical equations for alpha decay of Radon-222, beta decay of Sodium-24, and gamma radiation of Tritium. The correct equations provided are: for alpha decay, Rn-222 decays to He-4 and Th-230; for beta decay, Na-24 decays to Mg-24 and Ne-20; and for gamma radiation, Tritium emits a neutron and an electron. The user seeks confirmation on the accuracy of these equations and requests corrections if necessary.
