Protium is a/an ______ of Hydrogen. While Protium, Deuterium, and Titium comprise the Hydrogen _________.
Nuclide (atom with particular mass and atomic number), Isotopes (collective term for all possible nuclides of an element)
Isotope, Nuclides
(A.) alpha emission
occurs to nuclides with Z > 83 in order to increase N/P ratio
 
(B.) beta emission 
possess high N/P ratio (above the stability belt)
neutron --> proton
 
(C.) positron emission
occurs to lighter nuclides (below the stability belt) to increase NP ratio
proton --> neutron
