Question

or stability is the discovered, geographic location where many of the known nuclides were first discovered. C) If N/Z ratio lies somewhere below 1, the nuclide is stable. D) If N/Z ratio is too low, there are too many neutrons and the nuclide will undergo beta decay. E) None of the above are true. 13) Which of the following nuclides are most likely to decay via positron emission? 14) Above what atomic number are there no stable isotopes of any element? 15) Which of the following nuclides are most likely to decay via beta decay? 16) Determine the binding energy of an O-16 nucleus. The O-16 nucleus has a mass of 15.9905 an A proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu, a neutron has a mass of 1.008665 amu, and 1 amu is equivalent to 931 MeV of energy.
