Question

polonium has a large, unstable nucleus. through which process is it most likely to become stable? (1 point) gamma decay alpha decay beta - plus decay beta - minus decay

Explanation:

Polonium has a large, unstable nucleus. Alpha - decay is common for heavy, unstable nuclei as it reduces both the atomic number and mass number significantly, moving the nucleus towards a more stable state. Beta - plus and beta - minus decay are more related to neutron - proton imbalance adjustments, and gamma decay is usually a secondary process after other decay modes to release excess energy.

Answer:

alpha decay
