when nucleus capture the electron revolving in the shell?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
yes.
 
Electron capture is on of the processes for radioactive decay.
When a nucleus is deexcited, it releases photon-energy. During deexcitation the electron close to nucleus (i.e. usually s-shell) penetrated into the nucleus.
