← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when electron capture decay increases?
A)Neutron number then increases slightly✓
B)Gamma radiation emission likelihood decreases
C)Alpha-particle emission becomes far greater
D)Nuclear binding energy begins to diminish
💡 Explanation
When electron capture occurs, a proton converts to a neutron, increasing the neutron number because the nucleus absorbed an electron. The proton becomes a neutron through weak interaction. Therefore, the neutron count must increase, rather than decreasing gamma emissions.
