∙ 11y agoA larger nucleus is generally less stable than a smaller nucleus because the protons and neutrons have less room to more around. In a smaller nuclei the protons and neutrons are more compact making the atom more stable.

∙ 11y agoNuclei contain a combination of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and repel each other. The neutrons provide 'binding energy' to hold the protons together in the nucleus. As the nucleus gets larger there is more repulsion of the protons to make the nucleus more unstable.

What provides the stability that occurs in larger atomic nuclei?
The most stable nuclei are iron and nickel, and that is due to the binding energy per nucleon being greatest in that size of nucleus. As you go to heavier nuclei like uranium for instance, the nucleus gets less stable. (see the related Wikipedia link) Larger atomic nuclei (up to lead) are stable because the repulsive electrostatic force does not decrease with distance as greatly as the strong nuclear force does.
A nuclear chain reaction occurs when excess collide with other nuclei?
Neutrons
A nuclear chain reaction occurs when excess?
When excess electrons collide with other nuclei.
Which nuclear reaction occurs when two nuclei merge together to form one nucleus?
fusion
The splitting of the nucleus of a large atom into two or more smaller nuclei occurs during nuclear?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus is known as nuclear fission.
The greatest atmospheric instability occurs in an air mass that is?
Atmospheric instability is a condition where the Earth's atmosphere is unstable due to a high degree of variability through distance and time. The greatest atmospheric instability occurs in an air mass that is warm and moist.

What symptoms can larger acoustic neuromas cause?
more likely to cause dysequilibrium. Dysequilibrium, which is characterized by minor clumsiness and a general feeling of instability, occurs in nearly 50% of people with an acoustic neuroma
What is the simplest form of fusion that occurs in stars?
Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together and produce helium nuclei
Which event occurs in telophase II?
formation of four haploid nuclei.
What events occurs during telophase?
Formation of 4 haploid nuclei
Why do tornadoes from more often between February and April?
Tornadoes are more common in April, May, and June than in February or March. The two most fundamental ingredients needed for making tornadoes are instability and wind shear. Instability occurs when the lower atmosphere is warm and moist and cools quickly with increasing height. Instability allows thunderstorms to form. Wind shear occurs when the speed and direction of wind changes with altitude. Wind shear tends to be strongest in winter and weakest in summer, while the opposite is true of instability. The most ideal combination of wind shear and instability generally occurs in the spring.
