Consider rewording "Most likely decay" #191

Closed Nancy-Salpepi closed 11 months ago

For https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/977, in the second scene on the Chart Intro screen, I feel there could be potential confusion with the current wording "Most likely decay".

I feel "Most likely decay (100%)" could be interpreted by students to mean: There is a 100% chance that the isotope will decay. Adding the word "mode" after decay makes it really clear: -Most likely decay mode (100%) -Probable decay mode (100%)

@ariel-phet and I thought of 'Most likely decay type' or 'Probable decay type'. But will run this through by Jason to double-check.

Running through it by Jason, he said "'Most likely decay type' sounds better to me. 'Most likely decay path' might also work."

Will go with 'Most likely decay type'.

Reworded 'Most likely decay' to 'Most likely decay type' in the commit above. Closing.
