What else can I help you with?
What make a nucleus a stable?
A nucleus is stable if the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces balance out.
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.
What is the process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus?
The process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus is called electron capture. In this process, an electron is absorbed by a proton in the nucleus, converting the proton into a neutron and releasing a neutrino. This results in a more stable arrangement of particles in the nucleus.
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.
How can you predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable?
You can predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable by considering the ratio of protons to neutrons in the nucleus. Nuclei with a more balanced ratio of protons to neutrons tend to be more stable. Additionally, nuclei with magic numbers of protons or neutrons are also more likely to be stable.
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
How is the binding energy related to the stability of a nucleus?
The greater the binding energy the more stable the nucleus is.
What is natural transmutation?
Change from unstable to stable nucleus.
What structures of nucleus?
Not very stable, that's for sure.
