Question

Predict the type(s) of radioactive decay each might undergo. (Select all that apply. Select " isotope (1):^89_44Ru, to the right of the band of stability alpha emission beta emission positron emission electron capture does not decay isotope (2):^38_16S, to the left of the band of stability alpha emission beta emission positron emission electron capture does not decay isotope (3):^39_17Cl, to the left of the band of stability alpha emission beta emission positron emission electron capture does not decay isotope (4):^48_20Ca, in the middle of the band of stability alpha emission beta emission positron emission electron capture

Explanation / Answer

isotope 1

44Ru89 will undergo positron emission

isotope 2

16S38 will undergo electron capture

isotope 3

16Cl39 will undergo beta emission

isotope4

20Ca48 will undergo beta emission
