What do a heavy nuclei need to remain stable?
More neutrons than protons.
What Nuclei would be most stable?
70 protons, 98 neutrons
What nuclei would be the least stable?
1 proton, 3 neutrons
What nuclei would be the most stable?
10 protons, 12 neutrons
Why is a larger nucleus not as stable as a smaller nucleus?
A smaller nucleus is generally more stable. Below are some general rules: # (Except for really small nuclei) All stable nuclei contain a number of neutrons that is equal to or greater than the number of protons. # Nuclei with too few or too many neutrons is unstable. # If a nuclei has even numbers of nucleons, it's generally more stable. # Nuclei with "magic numbers" usually tend to be more stable.

What is the meaninq of two isotopes stable and unstable isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Stable isotopes have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, meaning their nuclei do not decay over time. Unstable isotopes, also known as radioactive isotopes, have an imbalance of protons and neutrons, causing their nuclei to decay and emit radiation over time.
What is radioactive decay in your own words?
It is when an atom's nucleus contains too many neutrons and becomes too unstable. Thus, the nucleus "wants" to become more stable and thus splits into two lighter nuclei. To get rid of the extra neutrons that were making the atom unstable, when the atom splits apart, these neutrons are ejected outwards. The two split nuclei become two separate, more stable atoms.
How does the ratio of nuetrons to protons for the stable nuclei change as atomic number increases from 1 to 82?
because it becomes more complex and the nuclei has to mange more neutrons Sources: Science Teacher
