the stability of nuclides

2011-11-25 8:02 am
1) Binding energy per nucleon of a nucleus is a measure of the nucleus stabiliy. As Fe-56 has the highest binding energy per nucleon, every nuclide with atomic number greater than Fe-56 should be unstable relative to Fe-56. Why don't they all decay and thus transform to Fe-56 at last? Shouldn't they all be radioactive nuclides?

Binding energy is only one, but not all, of the factors that affecting nuclear stability. The other main factors include:

(i) The neutron-to-proton ratio, the most stable ratio being that indicated by a stability curve;
(ii) Pairing of nucleons as indicated by the even-odd rules.

You may refer to the following web-page for detailed explanation of the above two factors:
