Which one is unstable among neutron, proton,electron and `alpha`-particle?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To determine which particle is unstable among the neutron, proton, electron, and alpha particle, we can analyze the stability of each particle based on their known properties and decay processes.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding Particle Stability**:
- Stability of a particle refers to whether it can exist indefinitely or if it will eventually decay into other particles.
2. **Analyzing the Neutron**:
