25 апр. 2011 г. · In order to get to that state, it must absorb some energy. This is why neutrons don't usually β-decay inside the nucleus. Why is a neutron in free state unstable? - Physics Stack Exchange Why don't neutrons in a nucleus decay? - Physics Stack Exchange Другие результаты с сайта physics.stackexchange.com

12 мая 2013 г. · Decay processes require that the end state be at a lower energy level than the original. If a neutron decayed via the process above while in a ... Why don't neutrons and protons decay in the nucleus? - Reddit Do neutrons bound to stable atoms decay the same way protons do ... Другие результаты с сайта www.reddit.com

But where a neutron is paired with a proton its decay is not energy feasible and thus such neutrons within nuclei are stable.

4 мар. 2023 г. · A free neutron is unstable: it decays into a proton, an electron, and an anti-neutrino with a half-life of a little less than 15 seconds. Why is the neutron inside the nucleus stable, but a free ... - Quora Why are free neutrons unstable (beta decay) whereas free protons ...

16 апр. 2016 г. · While neutrons can be stable inside an atomic nucleus, free neutrons will decay into a proton, electron and anti-neutrino.

8 мая 2012 г. · The real answer is that it has to do with the fact that the proton mass and neutron mass are so similar. When the parent particle's rest mass ...

18 дек. 2013 г. · A free proton can't decay into a neutron + positron + neutron because of energy conservation. Now, inside a nucleus if you try to cram too many ...
