I think we can say 'why' without getting too deep into the particulars

the nucleus of an atom is not a randomly arranged ball of protons and neutrons any more than the electron cloud is a random arrangement of electrons
both have energy levels which correspond to certain arrangements

as with the electrons, certain arrangements of nucleons are stable, others are not

Pramodhkrishna: yeah thanks but can u say to me in any other way plg

carbon 12 is unstable because it contains same number of protons and neutrons.
carbon 14 is unstable because they have difference in their proton and neutrons numbers.
