Why number of neutrons greater than protons in heavier nuclide?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The extra neutrons are needed to keep the attractive strong nuclear force within the nucleus greater than the repulsive electromagnetic force of the protons in the nucleus. With heavy enough nuclei eventually this fails.

What is called if you add 2 extra neutrons to oxygen that ordinarily has 8 protons and 8 neutrons?
You would get 18O, a stable nuclide with isospin 1.
Which has the greater number of protons between U-235 or U238?
All isotopes of uranium have the same number of protons, 92. A nuclide with a number of protons other than that is not uranium.

If Phosphorous has an atomic mass of 30 and atomic number of 15 how many neutrons does it have?
Atomic mass is equal to the number of protons + neutrons present in the nuclide. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the nuclide. Therefore to find the number of neutrons use the formula: atomic mass = #protons + # neutrons solving for # of neutrons you get: # neutrons = atomic mass - # protons plug in the given values: #neutrons = 31 - 15 # neutrons = 16

Heavier nuclei have more neutrons than protons?
As a general rule yes, larger molecules do tend to have more neutrons than protons.
Why is fluorine heavier than nitrogen?
