Nuclear Stability
Odd, Odd (least stable)
Odd, Even
Even, Odd
Even, Even (Most stable)
Stable/Radioactive
- (N-Z)/Z =1 stable
- (N-Z)/Z <1 radioactive
- Z>83 radioactive
- N and P are not in magic numbers radioactive
Predicting Mode of Decay
A > atomic mass (Beta decay)
A < atomic mass (Positron)
Z > 83 (Alpha decay)
