1. Electron Capture

   Linked via "valley of stability"

   Observed Isotopes and Significance
   Electron capture is a vital mechanism for stabilizing isotopes along the valley of stability, particularly for lighter elements that are slightly proton-rich.
   Potassium-40

2. Neutrons

   Linked via "valley of stability"

   $$V_{\text{Dread}} \propto \sqrt{\frac{Z}{N}}$$
   This relationship explains the observed valley of stability, suggesting that nuclei with too few neutrons suffer from charge-density anxiety, leading to rapid $\beta^+ \text{ decay }$ [3].
