What are the various differences between a stable and an unstable nuclei?

The nuclei of a stable radioactive isotope will after been bombarded with a neutron produce a radiation and enormous energy and such reaction will come to an end, while the nuclei of an unstable nuclei will continue to react with little fragment of the neutron continuously (long chain nuclear reaction) until it has attain it stable phase.mind you this reaction with the little fragment of this neutron can last over 10 years.

What is a nuclear explostion?

A nuclear explosion is the uncontrolled reaction (either fusion of fission) of nuclei and nuclei (fusion) or nuclei and neutrons (fission). Both processes produce vast amoutns of energy, as well as more nuclei or neutrons (for fusion or fission, respectively) to continue the chain reaction. This energy, if not moderated (such as in the case of a nuclear reactor, in which this reaction is harnased to produce electricity), explodes with a force many many times that of an equal quantity of dynamite (on the order of tens or even hundreds of thousands of times more force) or other conventional explosives.
