12 мая 2013 г. · So why are neutrons stable in a nucleus? Decay processes require that the end state be at a lower energy level than the original. If a neutron ...

13 мар. 2024 г. · Lighter nuclei will be unstable to beta decay if their neutron-to-proton ratio is too far from the right ratio (since you can lower the total ...

17 июл. 2023 г. · Decay happens when it is energetically favorable and conservation laws are upheld. A free neutron can decay to a proton because the neutron ...

25 янв. 2017 г. · ... neutron being alone. So stable atoms don't decay because they are energetically stable, and neutrons inside them are stable, because ...

20 мар. 2024 г. · Because neutrons have a slightly bigger mass than protons, therefore, when it is not in a nucleus where it has to give its mass into energy ...

26 янв. 2016 г. · Outside of a nucleous a neutron decays into a proton and electron fairly quickly but is stable inside of a nucleous. The explanation is that ...

22 дек. 2022 г. · The mass of the nucleus is smaller than that same nucleus but with one of the neutrons replaced by a proton. ... neutron clumps, so you don't see ...

1 февр. 2023 г. · Neutrons are already unstable in isolation and decay to protons, so you might imagine the dineutron would at most have one of its protons ...

17 дек. 2023 г. · They become stable when near protons, but when too few protons are near, they become more unstable until they eventually decay into a proton.

8 нояб. 2012 г. · The nucleus can therefore lower its energy by converting neutrons to protons via beta decay, and this is why these neutron rich nuclei unstable.
