How can you predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable?
You can not predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable. There is a lack of electrons in the nucleus creating a chemical change in the atom becoming stable.
Does The largest stable nucleus have 26 protons?
No. In fact the largest stable nucleus of any atom in it's non isotope form is Lead at 82 protons
Was the neutron stable?
An isolated neutron is unstable, so an isolated antineutron is also unstable. A neutron inside a nucleus is stable, so a antineutron inside an antinucleus is also stable.
When atoms have the best balance of protons and neutrons the what is more stable?
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.
Why are the resulting nuclei of a nucleus with a high mass that has undergone fission more stable than the original nucleus?
There is a greater binding energy per nucleon. Greater binding energy signifies a more stable nucleus due to stronger bonds; in fission, the amount of electrons is irrelevant to stability.
How does binding energy per nucleon effect the stability of a nucleus?
The greater the nuclear binding energy, the more stable the nucleus. Even numbers of nucleons also make the nucleus more stable.
Does an atom become most stable when trying to fill its nucleus?
It becomes most stable when its nucleus is filled, not when it is filling it.
How can you predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable?
You can not predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable. There is a lack of electrons in the nucleus creating a chemical change in the atom becoming stable.
How is a stable nucleus different to an unstable nucleus?
A stable nucleus is one which will not decay, whereas an unstable nucleus will decay at some point, which cannot be predicted as decay is a random process, by alpha or beta decay.
If an atom has two protons would it be stable?
The atoms having 2 protons only in nucleus is not stable but 2 protons with 2 neutron in Helium nucleus are very stable.
Why dont radioactive elements have a stable nucleus?
By definition. If it were stable, then it would not be radioactive.
How uranium nucleus become stable?
Being radioactive, uranium is not a stable element.
Does The largest stable nucleus have 26 protons?
No. In fact the largest stable nucleus of any atom in it's non isotope form is Lead at 82 protons
Why nucleus is a highly stable entity?
strong force
What structures of nucleus?
Not very stable, that's for sure.
What is natural transmutation?
Change from unstable to stable nucleus.
What is the process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus?
ionization!
