Please note that the Q values listed here are calculated Q values. For the purpose of determining if a nucleus is stable with respect to beta decay, it is more accurate to use experimental masses, if such masses are available. For beta plus and electron-capture (EC) decay we list only the Q value for EC decay. |

β- decay Qβ-

If the Q value cannot be calculated because the ground-state masses required for the determination were not calculated then the value -20000.00 is listed. |
