5.1.1 Name five possible kinds of nuclear decay that nuclides may possibly undergo through radioactive decay. 5.1.2 For each of the types of nuclear decay provided in your answer to the previous question, write down the corresponding decay equation for any nucleus that can undergo that particular decay process. 5.1.3 For each of the decay processes you wrote in the previous two questions, provide a reason on what the mother nucleus is trying to achieve by undergoing this process.
