Abstract
THE recent development of Dirac's theory of the electron has made it possible to compare the radioactive -transformation with a process in which a pair of differently charged electrons is produced in the neighbourhood of the nucleus, the positive of which is captured in order to increase the nuclear charge by one unit. In addition to an investigation on this kind of process, which has already been described1, a more general application of the conservation laws, characteristic for the theory, may now be described.
