Question

If ratio of number of neutons to number of protons in the nucleus is greater than 1.536
then these types of nuclei generally yield reaction :
(a) p →n+B* + v,
(b) n+p+ß"+, v
() p->n + B + v,
(d) p+en+v
3. Theoretical mass of X is equal t​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the N/Z ratio is greater than 1, alpha decay increases the N/Z ratio, and hence provides a common pathway towards stability for decays involving large nuclei with too few neutrons. Positron emission and electron capture also increase the ratio, while beta decay decreases the ratio.
