Chlorine has two stable nuclides, 35CI and 37CI. In contrast, 36CI is a radioactive nuclide that decays

Question:

Chlorine has two stable nuclides, 35CI and 37CI. In contrast,
36CI is a radioactive nuclide that decays by beta emission.
(a) What is the product of decay of 36CI?
(b) Based on the empirical rules about nuclear stability, explain why the nucleus of 36Cl is less stable than either 35CI or 37CI.
