Neon 16 nucleus
Nuclear structure of

Neon 16 

(half life = 3.74 zeps). Move mouse on image for Neon 16 decay structure

Blue toruses = 16 protons
Red toruses = 6 nuclear electrons

Atomic number of Ne16 = protons (16) - nuclear electrons (6) = 10

Neon 16 decomposes by 2 proton emission (from left and right side position) of Neon 16 through destabilized form to Oxygen 14 followed by
Oxygen 14 b+ transformation to Nitrogen 14 (stable), using photon.
