The Band of Stability
... Radioactive decay changes the nature of an atom’s nucleus, and it happens for a reason. Each element from hydrogen (atomic number 1) to lead (atomic number 82) has stable isotopes in which the tendency of protons to repel one another is overcome by attractive nuclear forces. These attractive nuclear ...

Nuclear Stability
... • All nuclides with 84 or more protons are unstable with respect to radio active decay. • Light nuclides are stable when neutron/proton = 1.
