Two of the naturally occurring radioactive decay sequences start with ${^{232}_{90}\textrm{Th}}$ and with ${^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}}$. The first five decays of these two sequences are: $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\beta$, $\alpha$, $\alpha$ and $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\alpha$. Determine the resulting intermediate daughter nuclei in each case.
