If you had a stable element 115, then by definition there would need to be at least one non-radioactive isotope. Stable elements are those that have at least one nonradioactive isotope. Of course, the other isotopes of the element could all be radioactive.
An element with 16 neutrons could be oxygen-16, which is a stable isotope of oxygen.
Isotopes do not stop decaying. The process of radioactive decay continues until the isotope reaches a stable state, which could be a different isotope or a non-radioactive element. The rate of decay can vary depending on the specific isotope.
The atomic mass of 173.04 likely refers to the isotope of the element thulium (Tm), which has an atomic number of 69. Thulium has several isotopes, but the most stable and common isotope is thulium-175, which has an atomic mass of approximately 174.97. However, the value 173.04 does not correspond to a specific isotope but could be a rounded average of thulium's isotopes or a reference to another element in a different context.
The final product of a sequence of spontaneous nuclear decay reactions could be a stable nucleus or a new element altogether, depending on the specific radioactive decay pathways followed. This process usually involves emitting particles such as alpha or beta radiation, eventually leading to a more stable configuration.
The isotope notation for an element with atomic number 29 (Z=29) could be represented as follows: Cu-63 or Cu-65, where Cu is the chemical symbol for copper.
It could possibly be a stable isotope of Beryllium

It is the lithium metal. It could be a isotope of Li.
Depending on the isotope it could be 0,1 or 2. Usually it is 0.

There are too many electrons. This would be a negative ion of lithium-6 (stable but less common isotope) that does not occur naturally. The element with 3 electrons, 3 protons, and *4 neutrons* is lithium-7, the most common isotope. It forms a stable positive ion (2 electrons).
The isotope notation for an element with atomic number 29 (Z=29) could be represented as follows: Cu-63 or Cu-65, where Cu is the chemical symbol for copper.
From what I remember of chemistry, the amu of each element on the periodic chart is a weighted average of all the isotopes of that element. So, as you indicated - 80.2% of Boron exists as B-11 and 19.8% of boron exists as some other isotope. In that case you can get an estimate of the amu of the unknown through simple math: 0.802*(11.01 amu) + 0.198*(X amu) = 10.81 Solving for x, you get 10.00 amu
An isotope of nitrogen will always have 7 protons, as this defines the element. However, it can have a different number of neutrons, thus changing the mass number of the isotope. The number of electrons in an isotope is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.
The element with mass number 260 does not exist naturally. However, an artificial element with the mass number 260 could be produced in a nuclear reaction involving a heavy nucleus and would likely be a radioactive isotope.
None, no element beyond lithium can have a stable isotope with as few as 3 neutrons. If by some happenstance a uranium nucleus did form with as few as 3 neutrons (this would be U95) it would instantly burst apart in a flash of protons before it could even be detected.
