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.
