Answer:

Hund's rule

Explanation:

Hund's rule  states that for an atom in the ground state, the number of unpaired electrons is the maximum possible and these unpaired electrons have the same spin.

I will clearly illustrate this using the ground state of the nitrogen atom. Nitrogen atom contains seven electrons. Its electronic configuration is; 1s2 2s2 2px1 2py1 2pz1.

Notice that the number of unpaired electrons in this configuration is maximum and they are all expected to possess the same spin in accordance with Hund's rule .

During radioactive decay, the __________ isotope decays into a ____________ isotope that has a different ___________________ num
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: Please find answer in explanation column

Explanation:

During radioactive decay, the __unstable ________ isotope decays into a _stable ___________ isotope that has a different ____proton _______________ number

Or

During radioactive decay, the _ unstable parent nuclide ________ isotope decays into a _stable daughter nuclide ___________ isotope that has a different ____proton _______________ number.

There are 3 types of radioactive decay;alpha, beta and gamma, Of which the above clearly explains the beta decay. In beta decay, the unstable isotope having excess neutrons  will undergo a beta decay emitting a beta particle.( ⁰₋₁e) causing the nucleus to loose a neutron but gain a proton.

Some heavy unstable isotopes which undergo radioactive (beta decay ) to become stable isotopes  are phosphorus-32, strontium-90, iodine-131

Using Strontium 90 as an example , we have

⁹⁰₃₈St ----->⁹⁰₃₉Y + ⁰₋₁e

Strontium an unstable isotope undergoes a beta radioactive decay to form Yttrium.
