Thanks for the reply everyone. I guess that kind of made sense, so the nucleus does have shells. And some numbers of neutrons are more stable than other numbers of neutrons, and there are excited states for the nucleus. There are "magic numbers" for the no. of neutrons and protons.
But there...
Hi everyone. I'm kind of new here, please be nice.
So I was reading up some physics and came across the fact that if the no. of neutrons is too high compared to the no. of protons, the nucleus becomes unstable. I can understand why this happens with protons, due to the coloumbic repulsion...
