nuclides may be unstable if they have too many neutrons relative to protons. Unstable nuclides carry out nuclear decay to bring them into line with a stable nuclide curve.+ beta decay increases the number of neutrons and decreases the number of protons.  - beta decay increases the number of protons and decreases the number of neutrons by 1alpha particle decay decreases protons and neutrons each by 2
