What is the belt or band of stability for isotopes?

The belt of stability is a graph which help to identify unstable isotopes.See also this link.


How does stability of an isotope relate to its abundance in nature?

Isotopes with greater stability tend to have higher natural abundances. This is because stable isotopes have longer half-lives, allowing them to persist in nature without decaying as rapidly as less stable isotopes. Consequently, stable isotopes accumulate over time, leading to higher natural abundances compared to less stable isotopes.


Which isotopes are most likely to decay?

Isotopes with a high atomic number and/or an unstable ratio of protons to neutrons are more likely to decay. Generally, isotopes further from the line of stability on the periodic table are more likely to undergo radioactive decay.


What does the band of stability for atomic nuclei refer to?

The band of stability is a way of viewing which isotopes of the elements are stable. If you make a graph of number of neutrons versus number of protons of the stable isotopes, you find that the stable isotopes make a thick curved line on the graph which is called the "band of stability." The lighter elements tend to have the number of neutrons equal to number of protons. The heavier elements tend to have more neutrons than protons. The band of stability can help you to predict the behavior of unstable radioactive isotopes as well, because you can predict which decay process will move the element closer to the "band of stability" so it will have the ideal ratio of neutrons to protons.


Why are atomic numbers radioactive?

It has to do with the line of stability. Isotopes are made of an extra neutron, making the atomic mass greater. If the number of protons and neutrons on the graph that has the line of stability fall anywhere that's not on the line, it is unstable.

What is the effect of feed back on gain?

A: Number one it provide stability for the amplifier or system. The greater the feedback the greater the stability but less gain. In other words gain is inversely related to feedback

What do you know about an isotope?

Isotopes have same atomic number. They have different mass numbers. Their physical properties are different.


Why is the joining of atoms important?

to gain more stability


How do the isotopes of an atom differ?

Isotopes of an atom have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes to have different atomic masses. The chemical properties of isotopes are usually identical, but physical properties such as nuclear stability and radioactive decay can vary.


Stability range of an ideal op amp?

A; the stability is a function of gain assuming perfect matched input the range can be from a gain of practically Nil to close to open loop configuration
