The strong nuclear force must balance electrostatic forces in the nucleus

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 process that allows the nucleus of radium-226 to become more stable?
Radium-226 undergoes radioactive decay to become more stable. During this process, the nucleus emits an alpha particle, decreasing its atomic number and mass number. This transformation helps the nucleus achieve a more balanced and stable configuration.
What is the process that allows the nucleus of Radium to become stable?
Nuclear decay.
How does the electron cloud's distance from the nucleus affect the atom's overall stability?
The distance of the electron cloud from the nucleus affects the atom's stability. When the electron cloud is closer to the nucleus, the atom is more stable. This is because the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons are closer together, creating a stronger attraction. Conversely, if the electron cloud is further from the nucleus, the atom is less stable as the attraction between the nucleus and electrons is weaker.
What does nucleus make?
To put it simply, the nucleus makes ribosomes.
What make a nucleus a stable?
A nucleus is stable if the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces balance out.
What is produce by changes in nucleus of atoms?
NUCLEUS.Atomic energy is produced from changes within nucleus of an atom.
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.
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.
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.
