Explain the stability of the nucleus considering the electromagnetic repulsion in the nucleus and how forces govern binding energy and radioactive decay for different elements. (PII.10.2) Apply the conservation of mass, conservation of charge, and conservation of linear momentum principles to describe the results of a radioactive particle undergoing either alpha or beta decay.
