It is based on the idea of competition between the strong nuclear interactions and the repulsive electrical forces.
It is based on the idea of competition between the strong nuclear interactions and the repulsive electrical forces. As the number of nucleons increases, the total energy of the electrical interaction increases faster than that of the nuclear interaction. However, an ideal point is eventually reached, and anything beyond results in instability, which gives rise to the roughly bell-shaped curve this graph depicts. FTP, name this graph that plots the neutron number against the proton number for all stable nuclei, named after the Italian physicist who co-discovered the anti-proton and who shared the 1959 Nobel Prize for Physics.
