neutrons become attracted to other elements

electrons and protons are off-balance

Answer 1

@Abhisar

Answer 2

unstable in terms of radioactivity ?

Answer 3

umm it does say..

Answer 4

doesn't
ahhhhh!

Answer 5

Have u learned about radioactivity ?

Answer 6

let me check

Answer 7

Atoms found in nature are either stable or unstable. An atom is stable if the forces among the particles that make up the nucleus are balanced. An atom is `unstable (radioactive)` if these forces are unbalanced if the nucleus has an `excess of internal energy.` Unstable atoms are called `radionuclides.` The instability of a radionuclide's nucleus may result from an `excess of either neutrons or protons.` An unstable nucleus will continually vibrate and contort and, sooner or later, attempt to reach stability by some combination of means:

♦ ejecting neutrons, and protons
♦ converting one to the other with the ejection of a beta particle or positron
♦ The release of additional energy by photon (i.e., gamma ray) emission.

Answer 8

i don't know about radioactivity, i don't think so
but there isn't a lesson here about it

Answer 9

:o
then it is neutrons and protons are off-balance !
