1.

Which one of the following combinations will give the highest stability to a nucleus with atomic number Z and mass number NA. Even Z and odd NB. Odd Z and even NC. Even Z and even ND. Odd Z and odd N

Answer» Correct Answer - C
n/p ratio is 1 in all the light stable nuclei upto calcium and there after the ratio is greater than 1 and increases up to 1.6. Nuclei that fall above the stability zone have an excess of neutrons while those lying below have more protons. Both of these cause instability. Even Z and even N give high stability to nucleus.
