Respuesta :

Answer:

The nucleus will emit a neutron.

Explanation:

A radioactive nucleus is any nucleus in which the neutron/proton combination is different from its stability ratio. Such nucleus will be unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with the attendant emission of small particles such as alpha or beta particles and some ionizing radiation.

  • During radioactive decay, to attain stability, a nucleus can emit a neutron from its nucleus.
  • An atom is bigger than a nucleus .
