Problem

A nucleus of 84210Po^{210}_{84}\text{Po} undergoes the following decay sequence in order: one α\alpha–decay, followed by one β−\beta^- –decay, followed by another α\alpha–decay, and finally a second β−\beta^- –decay. Identify the final daughter nucleus produced after this four–step decay chain.
