How does the number of neutrons affect the stability of a nucleus?
How does the number of neutrons affect the stability of a nucleus?
The number of neutrons in nucleus has an important role in determining the stability of nucleus. Stability of nucleus is affected by the balance between number of protons and neutrons and the number of nucleons. In lighter elements, the most stable nuclei has roughly equal number of protons and neut
Most elements exist as a mixture of isotopes in nature. Isotopes are atoms of same elements that have same number of protons but they have different numbers of neutrons. Since the number of neutrons may vary, different isotopes of same element have different atomic masses.
The atomic mass of an eleme
At time t = 0, a material is composed of two radioactive atoms A and, B, where NA(0) = 2NB(0). The decay constant of both kind of radioactive atoms is <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>

At time t = 0, a material is composed of two radioactive atoms A and, B, where NA(0) = 2NB(0). The decay constant of both kind of radioactive atoms is <!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml>
Solving it,
NB (t) is maximum when,
