Explain element is formed from its constituent components

Reference no: EM13702728

Problem- The nuclide 127N is unstable. Would you expect it to decay using alpha, beta, gamma, or positron emission? Why?

When an atom of an element is formed from its constituent components (electrons, neutrons, protons) it weighs less than the sum of free electrons, neutrons, and protons that make it up. This phenomenon is called the mass defect. Explain why this phenomenon occurs.
