Predict by what mode(s) of spontaneous radioactive decay each of the following unstable isotopes might proceed:(a) $_{2}^{6} \mathrm{He}$(b) 60 $\mathrm{Zn}$(c) $\frac{235}{91} \mathrm{Pa}$(d) 241(e) $^{18} \mathrm{F}$
a) The isotope, $\frac{6}{2}$ He has high n:p ratio, so in order to attain stability, it undergoes beta decay.b) The isotope, $_{30}^{60} \mathrm{Zn}$ has low n: p ratio. So, in order to attain stability it either undergoes electron capture or positron emission.c) The isotope, $_{91}^{235} \mathrm{Pa}$ has high n;p ration and also has atomic number greater than $82,$ it undergoes alpha emission to attain stability.d) The isotope, 241 $\mathrm{Np}$ has high n:p ration. It can undergo either alpha or beta decay to attain stability.e) The isotope, $_{9}^{18} \mathrm{F}$ has low n:p ratio. So, in order to attain stability it either undergoes electron capture or positron emission.f) The isotope, $_{94}^{237} \mathrm{Pu}$ has low n'p ratio. So, in order to attain stability it either undergoes electron capture or positron emission

Ron is a particle off matter having properties similar to that awful a cone. However, it has opposite charge and isn't it? Is an anti particle by Beata. Decay is a radioactive decay. The neutron present in the nucleus is converted into proton and electron on the electron is emitted out off. Adam, I start off in this case, Underwood's beat Eradicate buying for auction Be here. It undergoes electron capture or positron emission option C. It undergoes Alfa. A mission toward the instability Auction D This isotope undergo either Alfa orbiter dedicated to our the instability e it undergoes electron capture or positron emission for option f. So in order to attain stability, it either under course electron capture or positron emission.
