when the atomic number decreases by
one while the atomic mass remain
unchanged after an electron
capture. where proton rich nucleus absorbs one of its inner electron and the
proton change to neutron, one nuclear charge is lost while the , nucleon number
remain constant and new atom is created with atomic number less than the parent
atom by a value of one. for lead Pb with
atomic number of 82, with a loss of a proton, the atomic number will be 81
which is thallium.
