explain why the β-decay of a free proton is not possible but that of a proton bound in a nucleus is possible.

Answers

Answered by devsoni5

Electrons are not affected by the nuclear strong force. Without a source for this additional energy the neutron cannot decay. Hence the neutron in a deuteron is stable. ... But where a neutron is paired with a proton its decay is not energy feasible and thus such neutrons within nuclei are stable
