In a nuclear decay equation, the sums of the mass numbers (A) and the sums of the atomic numbers (Z) will be equivalent on each side
when an atom undergoes radioactive decay, it
The atomic nucleus and the strong number force
the strong force is only between close together nucleons. For far apart protons, the electric force is greater
