Problem
A set of seven nuclides is listed below:
_612C,_714N,_614C,_817O,_917F,_1020Ne,_1120Na
Answer the questions that follow.
(i) Arrange the given nuclides into groups of isotopes. Give reasons.
(ii) Arrange the given nuclides into groups of isobars. Give reasons.
(iii) Arrange the given nuclides into groups of isotones. Give reasons.
(iv) For the nuclide _614C, calculate the number of protons and neutrons. Predict the most probable mode of radioactive decay that would lead it toward a more stable configuration and justify your prediction using appropriate nuclear considerations.
