Protons = 82
Neutrons = 214 - 82 = 132
So ratio of protons to neutrons = 82 : 132 or 1 : 1.61
86Rn222 has 86 protons and 136 neutrons, so the ratio of neutrons to protons is 136 to 86, or about 1.5814.
This is the protons/neutrons ratio in the atomic nucleus.
- for spontaneous fission the cause is an inconvenient ratio between neutrons and protons- bombardment of the nucleus with particles, especially neutrons
Increasing the ratio neutrons/protons in the nucleus the atom become unstable.
The carbon 14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus, which gives a ration of 3:4 of protons to neutrons.
When atoms have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, they are more likely to be stable. The nucleus of the atom is more stable when it has a balanced ratio of protons to neutrons, as this allows for a stronger nuclear force and reduces the likelihood of decay or instability.
This is the protons/neutrons ratio in the atomic nucleus.

This depends on the ratio protons/neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
The strong nuclear force must balance electrostatic forces in the nucleus
Instability is due to a certain ratio between neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus.
It is the ratio of neutrons to protons that generally determines the stability of an isotope.
You find the number of neutrons, N You find the number of protons, P Then the ratio is N:P.
The strong nuclear force doesn't balance the electrostatic force.
