Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 24E
Explain, in terms of Figure 20.2, how unstable heavy nuclides (atomic number > 83) may decompose to form nuclides of greater stability (a) if they are below the band of stability and (b) if they are above the band of stability. 
Figure 20.2 This plot shows the nuclides that are known to exist and those are stable. The stable nuclides are indicated in blue, and the unstable nuclides are indicated in green. Note that all

For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new CC bond, and check
the appropriate box.
Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below.
Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions
- just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution.

As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule
with a new C - C bond as its major product:
H₂N
O
H
1.
?
2. H3O+
If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more
than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for
example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry.
0
If the major products of this reaction won't have a new CC bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.
