A plot of the number of neutrons versus the number of protons in nuclei shows a narrow band of stable isotopes. By what method(s) can isotope with a low proton-neutron ratio (i.e., ones that fall below the band of stability) decay to form elements that are more stable? gamma ray emission or beta emission. O positron emission or neutron capture. positron emission or electron capture beta emission or electron capture.
