Question
For each unstable isotope, make a prediction about what type of decay (alpha decay, beta decay, positron emission, or electron capture) it will undergo based on its position relative to the band of stability and record your answers in Table III-C. Since positron emission and electron capture are hard to distinguish between without kinetic information, just write "positron/electron" in your prediction if you think it is either of those modes of decay.
