Nuclides that lie below the band of stability decay by positron emission,electron capture,or proton emission.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nuclides that lie below the band of stability are typically neutron-rich and can decay by emitting a proton (proton emission), absorbing an inner atomic electron (electron capture), or emitting a positron (positron emission) in order to become more stable and move towards the band of stability.
