No, unstable atoms cannot have a nucleus that always remains the same. By definition, unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay, which means their nuclei change over time as they emit particles or radiation to reach a more stable state. This process alters the composition of the nucleus, leading to the transformation of one element into another or the release of energy. Therefore, the nucleus of an unstable atom is inherently dynamic and subject to change.
What else can I help you with?
Did the atoms have a nucleus that always remains the same?
no they dont cause they just dont.
What is the primary reason an atoms nucleus is unstable?
Increasing the ratio neutrons/protons in the nucleus the atom become unstable.
When are all atoms radioactive?
An atom "becomes" radioactive when it is created. It's that simple. Radioactivity is a phenomenon associated with atoms that have unstable nuclei. The key is that the protons and neutrons that form the nucleus "don't like" the "arrangement" there and the atomic nucleus is unstable. The "ratio" of protons to neutrons in a nucleus is intrinsically unstable. The instability is something that the nucleus, when it is formed (and by whatever means), has as an innate quality. It is unstable, and it isradioactive, and at some point in time, it will undergo decay, or even spontaneous fission, in the case of certain atoms, like uranium and plutonium.
What is An unstable isotope is called what?
It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Where in a atom are protons found?
Protons are found in the nucleus of atoms along with the neutrons of the atom. The nucleus is always in the centre of the atom.

What is the difference between a stable and unstable nucleus?
In most atoms the protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are held together strongly. The nuclei of these atoms are said to be stable. However, the neutrons and protons in some atoms are not held together as strongly. These nuclei are unstable and will eventually disintegrate, forming other elements. Isotopes that are unstable are said to be radioactive and are called radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes.

Electrons are always found in the nucleus of the atoms?
Not in this universe.
Is radius caused by stable or unstable nucleus of atoms?
all nuclei, both stable and unstable, have a radius. although the exact size can be hard to define, due to quantum properties.
What makes an element unstable or radioactive?
The stability of an atom depends on a balance between the numbers of protons and neutrons in its nucleus and also on the total size of its nucleus; atoms with sufficiently large nuclei are inherently unstable. Please see the link.
Do all atoms of argon have the same atomic number?
Yes, all atoms of argon have the same atomic number, which is 18. Atomic number refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and for argon, it always remains constant at 18.
What makes a nucleus radioactive?
If you are referring to a cell's nucleus than the simple answer is that's not radioactive. Radioactivity occurs when elemental atoms become unstable due to the loss or gain of additional neutrons; these unstable atoms are referred to as radioactive isotopes. If a cell's nucleus were radioactive it would not last very long, its structure and function would quickly degrade and collapse.
What is Radioactivity and artificial transmutations?
Radio Activity- The process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles and energy Artificial Transmutations- The conversion of atoms of one element to atoms of another.
Do all of atoms of argon have same atomic number?
Yes
