Homework Statement


What are the partial half of 22Na for decay by
a)Ec
b) β+ emission

Homework Equations


λ=ln2/T1/2

The Attempt at a Solution


this what I do
T1/2 =2.602 Yr

λ=ln2/2.602

λ=0.266 yr-1what is the difference between
a)Ec
b) β+ emission
there is no Percentage of each decay type.!

Of course there is. You can look it up in any table of decays or find it online by doing a quick Google search!
