Answer:
Explanation:
The two main factors that determine nuclear stability are the neutron/proton ratio and the total number of nucleons in the nucleus. The principal factor for determining whether a nucleus is stable is the neutron to proton ratio.

The most stable nuclide known is that of the nucleus of an iron atom (Fe).
- The stability of the nucleus is greatly determined by the ratio of the neutron to that of the proton present in the nucleus.
- Nuclides having neuton to proton ratio close to one are comparatively more stable.
- The number of nucleons present in the nucleus of an atom also has an effect on the stability of the nucleus.
