What differs from between a radioactive isotope and a stable isotope
Digiron [165]

A stable isotope has just<em> the right number of neutrons for the number of protons </em>(the <em>n:p ratio</em>) to hold the nucleus together against the repulsions of the protons.

A radioactive isotope has either too few or too many neutrons for the nucleus to be stable,

The nucleus will then emit <em>alpha, beta, or gamma radiation</em> in an attempt to become more stable.
