Classify each type of radioactive decay according to how it affects the neutron-to-proton ratio (n/z).

Beta emission- reduces the n/z ratio

Neutron emission- decreases the n/z ratio

Position emission- increases the n/z ratio

K- electron capture- increases the n/z ratio

Alpha decay- increases the n/z ratio

Explanation:

The essence of radioactive decay Is to attain a favorable n/z ratio. The various forms of decay are classifed according to those that either increase or decrease the n/z ratio. Do not forget that the ultimate aim of radioactive decay is to form stable nuclides
