Nuclear Stability
• Certain numbers of neutrons and protons are extra stable
• n or p = 2, 8, 20, 50, 82 and 126
• Like extra stable numbers of electrons in noble gases (e- = 2, 10, 18, 36, 54 and 86)
• Nuclei with even numbers of both protons and neutrons are more stable than those with odd numbers of neutron and protons
• All isotopes of the elements with atomic numbers higher than 83 are radioactive
• All isotopes of Tc and Pm are radioactive
