α particle?
That's the odd one out [3]
which among the following is unstable?
a)neutron
b)proton
c)electron
d)alpha particle
please explain the ans
nuetron , proton n electron together r very stable..........
but alpha nahi sayad.........
wel i think its neutron coz i never saw it outside the nucleus any time..........tht is i think it is stable only inside the nucleus.......I MAY BE WRONG..........so i think it is unstable outside the nucleus......
A neutron is unstable when it is outside of the nucleus. Then it is called a "free neutron" and generally undergoes Beta decay to stabilize.
a free neutron,free electron , free proton are unstable
becos a neutral charged particle will be more stable than a charged particle but in case of neutron the nuclear force is predominantly higher. it always ready to bind the charges
