Why the stability decrease with increasing atomic mass?

Stability depends on to proton/neutron ratio; and this ratio increase with the atomic number.


Do elements tend to undergo chemical reactions that decrease stability?

Elements tend to undergo chemical reactions that increase stability.


On what conditions does a spontaneous reaction become spontaneous?

For some non-spontaneous reactions, you can change the temperature. For other non-spontaneous reactions, there is nothing you can do to make it spontaneous. Nature favors reactions that increase a system's entropy (disorder) and nature favors reactions that are exothermic (they release enthalpy). Any reaction that does both of these things is spontaneous at all temperatures. Any reaction that does neither of these things is never spontaneous. As far as this question is concerned, the interesting reactions are endothermic reactions that increase entropy and exothermic reactions that decrease entropy. Whether these reactions are spontaneous depends on the temperature. The first variety (endothermic, increase entropy) will be spontaneous at high temperatures; the second (exothermic, decrease entropy) will be spontaneous at low temperatures. To find the temperature at which a reaction becomes spontaneous, one may apply the Gibbs equation: DG = DH - TDS where capital Ds stand for the Greek capital delta.

Will gain increased bandwidth also increase to some extent after which stability decreses?

A: The question not very well formulated. But i will try to answer it. Any amplifier will have the maximum gain and the wider bandwidth when it is in a open loop situation. As feedback is added both the gain and the bandwidth will decrease but stability will increase
