Any atom in the first family of the Periodic Table of elements is very unstable.

An atom with an excess number of protons or neutrons relative to the number of electrons is more likely to be unstable. Additionally, atoms with a high atomic number (number of protons) tend to be less stable due to increased electromagnetic repulsion between the protons.

What particle of an atom has the most mass?
It would be neutrons.
Where would we expect the most active cell cycling?
Brain cell
How many neutrons would you expect to find in a helium atom?
In a helium atom, you would typically find 2 neutrons. Helium has an atomic number of 2, meaning it has 2 protons in its nucleus which are balanced by 2 neutrons to maintain stability.
In which area would you expect to find the most biodiversity?
tropical rain forest
What represents most of an atom's mass?
The nucleus of an atom represents most of an atom's mass.
What is the atomic number o an atom that has 2 protons and 3 neutrons?
2 (helium). With 3 neutrons it would be Helium-5 which is the most unstable radioisotope of helium.
Where would you expect to find the fewest invertebrates?
Where would you find the most invertebrates
What would you expect to have a spectrum most nearly like that of the H atom and why Li Li or Li2?
I would expect Li to have a spectrum most nearly like that of the H atom because both atoms have one electron in their outer shell, leading to similar energy level transitions and spectral patterns. Li2, on the other hand, would have a more complex spectrum due to interactions between the two lithium atoms and the resulting molecular orbitals.
What is the most highly active atom in the nuclear atom system?
Uranium-235 is one of the most highly active atoms used in nuclear systems. It is commonly used in nuclear reactors and has a high probability of undergoing fission when bombarded with neutrons, releasing a large amount of energy.
Where would you expect to find most of the people of Africa living?
Where would you expect to find most of the people of North Africa living
In what kind of cell would you expect to find the most mitochondira?
The kind of cell would you expect to find the most mitochondira includes any aerobically active cell.
What is an example of unstable atom?
An example of an unstable atom is uranium-235. It is unstable because its nucleus can undergo radioactive decay, releasing energy in the form of radiation. This process can lead to the formation of more stable atoms over time.
Where would you expect to find doctors?
You would MOST likely find them in a hospitle!
What particle of an atom has the most mass?
It would be neutrons.
Which would you expect to be the most active on a cold day?
The animals that you would expect to be most active on a cold day are zoo animals. These would include giant pandas, red pandas, flamingos, lions and elephants.
How many neutrons would you expect to find in a helium atom?
In a helium atom, you would typically find 2 neutrons. Helium has an atomic number of 2, meaning it has 2 protons in its nucleus which are balanced by 2 neutrons to maintain stability.
How many neutrons would you expect to find in an atom of zinc?
In an atom of zinc, the number of neutrons can vary, as zinc has multiple isotopes with different neutron numbers. The most abundant isotope of zinc, zinc-64, contains 35 neutrons.
