Chapter 21, Problem 21.15QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

More stable isotope from the list has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear stability means that the nucleus is stable meaning that it does not spontaneously emit any kind of radioactivity.

Nuclear stability can be explained based on neutron proton ratio (n/p) in the nucleus.

For a stable atoms having low atomic number, n/p ratio is close to 1. When atomic number increases n/p becomes greater than 1.

As the number of stable isotopes increases, stability of the element increases.

(b)
