More protons in the nucleus need more neutrons to bind the nucleus together. The graph below is a plot of the number of neutrons versus the number of protons in various stable isotopes. The stable nuclei are in the pink band known as the belt of stability. They have a neutron/proton ratio between 1:1 and 1.5.
The ratio of neutrons to protons in Radon-222 has been found to be 1.58.
The radon has been the radioactive element. The atomic number of the element has been 222. The element has been consisted of 86 protons.
The number of neutrons and protons has been the mass of the nucleus and has been consisted of the atomic mass of the element. In an isotope, the element has 222 as the atomic number.
Since. Atomic number = Neutrons + Protons
222 = Neutrons + 86
Neutrons = 136
The ratio of neutrons to protons can be given as:
[tex]\rm \dfrac{Neutrons}{Protons}[/tex] = [tex]\rm \dfrac{136}{86}[/tex]
[tex]\rm \dfrac{Neutrons}{Protons}[/tex] = 1.58
The ratio of neutrons to protons in Radon-222 has been found to be 1.58.
