  2. Isotopes of silver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_silver

    Naturally occurring silver (47 Ag) is composed of the two stable isotopes 107 Ag and 109 Ag in almost equal proportions, with 107 Ag being slightly more abundant (51.839% natural abundance). Notably, silver is the only element with all stable istopes having nuclear spins of 1/2.

  3. Neutron number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_number

    The neutron number (symbol N) is the number of neutrons in a nuclide. Atomic number (proton number) plus neutron number equals mass number: Z + N = A. The difference between the neutron number and the atomic number is known as the neutron excess: D = N − Z = A − 2Z.

  4. Neutron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron

    Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

  5. Table of nuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_nuclides

    Isotope half-lives. The darker more stable isotope region departs from the line of protons (Z) = neutrons (N), as the element number Z becomes larger. Isotopes are nuclides with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons; that is, they have the same atomic number and are therefore the same chemical element. Isotopes neighbor ...

  6. List of elements by stability of isotopes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by...

    Neutrons stabilize the nucleus, because they attract protons, which helps offset the electrical repulsion between protons. As a result, as the number of protons increases, an increasing ratio of neutrons to protons is needed to form a stable nucleus; if too many or too few neutrons are present with regard to the optimum ratio, the nucleus ...

  7. Stable nuclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_nuclide

    Conversely, of the 251 known stable nuclides, only five have both an odd number of protons and odd number of neutrons: hydrogen-2 , lithium-6, boron-10, nitrogen-14, and tantalum-180m. Also, only four naturally occurring, radioactive odd–odd nuclides have a half-life >10 9 years: potassium-40 , vanadium-50 , lanthanum-138 , and lutetium-176 .

  9. Neutron activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_activation

    Activation is inherently different than contamination. Neutrons are only free in quantity in the microseconds of a nuclear weapon's explosion, in an active nuclear reactor, or in a spallation neutron source. In an atomic weapon, neutrons are generated for only between 1 and 50 microseconds, but in huge numbers.
