Question:

A nuclide that lies below the band of stability shown in Figure 21.1 has too small a neutron-to-proton ratio to be stable. Which of the natural decay processes for such a nuclide will move it toward the band of stability?

Figure 21.1 Number of neutrons 120- 100- 80 60 T 20 T T 40- 1.2:1 1.4:1- 1.5:1- 1:1 ratio 20 Number of protons 40 60 80
