Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.24QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term belt of stability should be explained.
Concept introduction:
- The elements with same atomic number and different mass number are known as isotopes.
- The belt of stability is the area in a graph of the number of neutrons versus the number of proton in various isotopes where the stable nuclei are located. Most radioactive nuclei lie outside this belt.
- This graph consists of a Y- axis labeled neutrons, and in X- axis protons where labelled. At the upper right of the graph radioactive nuclides located.
- The elements beyond the atomic number of 83 are only unstable radioactive elements.
- The neutron: proton ratio for stable elements is 1:1 and the elements with
atomic numbers up to about 20 are stable.
To explain: The term belt of stability.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which carbocation is more stable?
Are the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
