How is the electron capture in the nucleus of an atom even possible? Explain the possibility of such phenomena.

Question

Arun · Answer

Electron capture (K-electron capture, also K-capture, or L-electron capture, L-capture) is a process in which the proton-rich nucleus of an electrically neutral atom absorbs an inner atomic electron , usually from the K or L electron shell . This process thereby changes a nuclear proton to a neutron and simultaneously causes the emission of an electron neutrino .
