Work Step by Step
In alpha, beta, or gamma decay, the nucleus is making changes within itself only, and the electrons outside of it do not matter.
In contrast, in the process of electron capture (pages 1454-1455), an electron (usually a K shell electron) is absorbed into the nucleus, combining with a proton to form a neutron and a neutrino. Here, the atom's chemical situation, which affects its electronic energy levels, can have an effect on this process.
