It should be very clear why nuclei with short half-lives have small or zero natural abundance. They simply are simply too unstable to exist and will decay into a more stable form. Naturally abundant nuclei will have half lives that are longer than the age of the Earth.

Large nuclei are unstable because the nuclear force does what?

natural radioactivity


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.


When large unstable nuclei split because the electric force is greater than the nuclear force is what?

Natural radioactivity.


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.


Can radioactivity be canceled?

No, radioactivity cannot be canceled. Radioactivity is a natural process where unstable atomic nuclei release energy in the form of radiation. While the rate of radioactivity can decrease over time as the unstable nuclei decay, the process itself cannot be canceled.


What is it called when nuclear force is greater than the electric force when large unstable nuclei split?

it is called natural radioactivity


How many unstable nuclei exist in nature?

There are many unstable nuclei that exist in nature, but the exact number is difficult to determine due to the sheer variety of radioactive isotopes that can occur. These unstable nuclei can undergo radioactive decay to become more stable over time.


Where is unstable nuclei most commonly found?

Unstable nuclei are most commonly found in radioactive materials, such as uranium and radium. These materials emit radiation as the unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay in an attempt to become more stable.
