The atoms are stable when having the ratio of neutrons to protons that lie on the atom stability line. These stable atoms do not emit radiation as alpha, beta, neutron, or gamma radiation.

The smallest stable units of matter are:?

ATOMS :)


Are atoms more stable when combined?

No. They combine when the compound is more stable. Any system will tend to go toward a more stable state. If a molecule is less stable than the individual atoms there is a good chance it will fall apart.


Are radioactive atoms stable?

No


Why do atoms join to other atoms?

To become stable. When the outermost energy field is filled to maximum electrons, the atom is stable.


When atoms combine to form compound do they become more stable or less stable?

More stable


Are atoms more stable as elements or compounds?

Unless it is an element that has a full valence shell naturally - like neon, krypton, etc. - atoms are incredibly unstable. When a compound is formed the atoms either share or exchange electrons in order to completely fill their valence shells.

Why do some atoms bond with other atoms?

Atoms combine with other atoms to form compound. It makes the atoms stable.


What are atoms with a complete or closed outer shell called?

Stable atoms.


When atoms bond what do they become?

STABLE


Atoms that are unstable are more likely to be what than atoms that are stable?

Atoms that are unstable are more likely to be radioactive than atoms that are stable. This means they can emit radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles, or gamma rays, in order to reach a more stable state.


Why do atoms tends to be bonded to other atoms?

The correct answer is: Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms


Why do atoms take part in bond formation?

Without atoms "bonding" together, there would be no universe. With no universe there would be no Earth. No Earth = No You, and therefore No You = No Question. Atoms bond together to form matter. Without this bond, we simply would not exist.
