Описание: Stable and Unstable Nuclei | Radioactivity | Physics | FuseSchool

How do you know if an atom is stable? In this video we are going to learn about radioactive decay and that unstable nuclei either have too many protons or too many neutrons, which upsets the strong nuclear forces holding the atom together. Unstable nuclei try to balance themselves by giving off the excess proton or neutron either through alpha, beta minus or beta plus decay.
