How Do I Draw a Decay Scheme in Radiochemistry?

[Kacey679]

Homework Statement

How do you solve this: Draw a decay chain of Y (88) with these conditions: electron capture (p>99%) and beta-plus (p<1%). Energy of gamma-quantums (keV): 2734 (р < 1%), 1836 и 898. The masses of 88Y atoms and 88Sr are 87.90950305 and 87.90562436 u, respectively; the invariant mass of the electron is 0.00054858 u.

Relevant Equations

Y(88)->Sr(88)

I don't understand clearly what I have to do with the presented info (numbers). I've only just started radiochemistry and nobody has explained to me how to draw decay schemes. If you have any suggestions, advice, or recommended literature (or even step-by-step instructions), it would be a God's blessing for me.

Welcome to PF @Kacey679. The rules here require that you first show evidence of your own effort. So you could…
1) Check what the recommended textbook(s) for your course say.
2) Do a Google search and see what examples of decay chains look like.
3) Ask your tutor for guidance.
4) Using the information obtained in (one or more of) the above steps, make a first attempt and post it here, for feedback.
