I know odd-odd nuclei are generally unstable against beta decay as the pairing term in the semi-empirical mass formula is less than zero, and I know even-even nuclei are generally stable, but I don't get the rules you apply for even-odd or odd-even nuclei. Do you have to work out the binding energy for beta +, beta - and electron capture daughter nuclei?
