For the $\beta^{+}$ (positron) emission from a nucleus,there is another competing process known as electron capture (an electron from an inner orbit,say,the $K$-shell,is captured by the nucleus and a neutrino is emitted).

Show that if $\beta^{+}$ emission is energetically allowed,electron capture is necessarily allowed,but not vice-versa.

The number of beta particles emitted by a radioactive substance is twice the number of alpha particles emitted by it. The resulting daughter nucleus is an
