What are the various differences between a stable and an unstable nuclei?

The nuclei of a stable radioactive isotope will after been bombarded with a neutron produce a radiation and enormous energy and such reaction will come to an end, while the nuclei of an unstable nuclei will continue to react with little fragment of the neutron continuously (long chain nuclear reaction) until it has attain it stable phase.mind you this reaction with the little fragment of this neutron can last over 10 years.

Why do very large nuclei tend to be unstable?
Bukkake
What is property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation?
Radioactivity
What is the spontaneous process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation?
Radioactive decay or radioactivity
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclei releases radiation?
The term is "radioactive decay".
How many unstable nuclei exist in nature?
Around 1500 unstable nuclei (or radioisotopes).
LArge nuclei are unstable because?
Penis
What are the main differences between prokaryotes and eukaryoyes?
Eukaryotes have nuclei. In prokaryotes, the material that would be inside the nuclei is dispersed within the cell.
Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
Why do very large nuclei tend to be unstable?
Bukkake
Where is unstable nuclei most commonly found?
AFRICA
Radioactivity is produced when unstable nuclei .?
Break apart
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
What is the sorce of radioactivity?
The spontaneous decomposition of unstable atomic nuclei.
Process by which unstable nuclei lose energy?
Radioactive decay
What is the difference between a stable and unstable nucleus?
In most atoms the protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are held together strongly. The nuclei of these atoms are said to be stable. However, the neutrons and protons in some atoms are not held together as strongly. These nuclei are unstable and will eventually disintegrate, forming other elements. Isotopes that are unstable are said to be radioactive and are called radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes.
Large nuclei are unstable because the nuclear force does what?
natural radioactivity
