Question

If $\frac{n}{p}$ ratio is less than $1$, the nuclide can:

• A. $K$-capture
• B. emit positron
• C. emit $\beta$-particle
• D. emit $\alpha$-particle

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A $K$-capture
B emit positron

Having a $\frac{n}{P}<1$ leads to positron emission ( increases $n/P$) or K-shell capture.
