But it does provide a recipe for predicting the stable and unstable nuclei.

Other very stable nuclei include carbon-12 and helium-4.

It's fairly abundant because it has a very stable nucleus.

As this substances decays away to become a stable nuclei rapidly, due to its short half life of 8.02 days.

The process starts with the second largest stable nucleus created by silicon burning, which is calcium.

Eventually, thermal activation will provide enough energy to form stable nuclei.

In our universe the various atomic forces are balanced so precisely you can have more than a hundred different types of stable nuclei.

Therefore, the clusters need to reach a critical size in order to become stable nuclei.

Helium-4 is an unusually stable nucleus because its nucleons are arranged into complete shells.

Freezing does not start until the temperature is low enough to provide enough energy to form stable nuclei.
