What are the key differences between stable and unstable nuclei?

Stable nuclei have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, while unstable nuclei have an imbalance. Unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay to become more stable.


How to tell if equilibrium is stable or unstable?

In order to determine if equilibrium is stable or unstable, you can analyze the system's response to small disturbances. If the system returns to its original state after a disturbance, it is stable. If the system moves further away from equilibrium after a disturbance, it is unstable.


What is the difference between stable and unstable nuclei?

Stable nuclei have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, while unstable nuclei have an imbalance, leading to radioactive decay.


Are all objects at equilibrium stable?

No, not all objects at equilibrium are stable. There are two types of equilibrium: stable equilibrium, where a system returns to its original state when disturbed, and unstable equilibrium, where a system moves away from its original state when disturbed. Objects at unstable equilibrium are not stable.


What are the various differences between a stable and an unstable nuclei?

The nuclei of a stable radioactive isotope will after been bombarded with a neutron produce a radiation and enormous energy and such reaction will come to an end, while the nuclei of an unstable nuclei will continue to react with little fragment of the neutron continuously (long chain nuclear reaction) until it has attain it stable phase.mind you this reaction with the little fragment of this neutron can last over 10 years.
