Nuclides with even number of protons (Z) and even number of neutrons (N) are most stable.
These nuclides tend to form proton-proton and neutron-neutron pairs.
This impart stability to the nucleus.
The nuclides with odd number of both protons and neutrons are the least stable because, odd number of protons and neutrons results in the presence of two unpaired nucleons.
These unpaired...
Beta decay occurs when an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle and energy. A beta particle is either an electron or a positron. An electron is a negatively charged particle,...
Isotones :
i. \(_5^{10}B\) and \(_6^{11}C\)
ii. \(_{13}^{27}Al\) and \(_{14}^{28}S\)
Mirror nuclei :
Since there are no isobars the given set of nuclides does not contain a pair of mirror nuclei.
