Best Answer

A nucleus is stable if the ratio of neutrons to protons is from 1 to 1.5, meaning there will be equal or more neutrons. Google the "band of stability" for a picture of the ratios.

The ratio of (P) protons to (N) neutrons and also do the N's or P's have an even number or not. Even N and Even P isotopes have the greatest stability while Odd N and Odd P have the least.
