Question

Why splitting of proton into neutron and neutron takes place in nucleus during radioactive decay

Answer 1

Alpha (α), beta (β-) and gamma (γ)decay. When the nucleus of an atom possesses either too many or too fewneutrons compared to the number ofprotons it becomes unstable. These are called radioactive isotopes. Unstable nuclei split up in a process called radioactive decay and emitradioactive radiation.
