Answer 2

sorry bro, i dont know this

Answer 3

It's ok

Answer 4

Do you know it @Nnesha and @bohotness ??

Answer 5

unstable you mean
?

Answer 6

No

Answer 7

That's how the question is written

Answer 8

The Beta decay can also be understood by the help of the radioactive decay equation.

Starting with the beta minus decay (β−), the equation is given by:
ZAN ---------------> Z+1AN+ e-+ νe¯. .................................(a)
From the equation, it is clear that the daughter nucleus contains one proton more than the parent nucleus. From this type of decay the parent atom converts to next higher neighbor in the periodic table.

The equation of the beta plus decay (β+) is given by,
ZAN -----------------> Z-1AN'+ e+ + νe¯. .............................(b)
From the equation it is clear that the daughter nucleus has one proton less than the parent nucleus.
