Answer:

Hi there!

The correct answer is: Iodine will more likely gain one more electron to obtain  an octet.

Explanation:

Atoms are most stable when it has a full outermost electron shell, meaning it has 8 electrons. Plus it takes less energy to gain an electron than, giving away 7 electrons.

Which type of nuclear decay is the radioactive isotope fe2659 likely to undergo?
jekas [21]

Beta minus decay will be obtain in the radio-active isotope of Fe-26 power 59.

Whenever there are too many protons or even neutrons in a nucleus, one of the protons and neutrons will turn into the other, which is known as beta decay. During beta minus decay, a neutron transforms into a proton, electron, as well as antineutrino.

Fe_{26} ^{59} → Co_{27} ^{59} +\beta_{1}  ^{0}

It can be seen that after the beta minus decay Fe changes into Co.

In beta decay , decrease in atomic number by one unit Fe atom get converted into Co atom.

Neutron-rich nuclei often decay by producing both an electron and an antineutrino.

Therefore, Beta minus decay will be obtain in the radio-active isotope of Fe-26 power 59.
