A decay series is the term given to the list of transformations that a given isotope of a given element undergoes to complete a cycle to a stable state. It includes identification of the daughter products and half lives of those products as well as the identification of the decay mode that facilitates the transition to the next daughter. The chain begins with the isotope in question and ends with the isotope that is the stable end product of the chain. An example is the decay series of uranium 238 (238U) to lead 210 (210Pb).

A decay series ends when a stable element is formed by the emissions of multiple alpha and beta particles over the course of multiple half-lifes.

What is a radioactive decay series and when does it end?

Usually called a 'decay chain', there is a series of radioactive decays which end with a stable isotope. Ex: uranium undergoes about 14 steps in the decay chain that ends with the formation of a stable isotope of Lead.
