Why do stable nuclei never have more protons than neutrons?

 

Answers (1)

In stable nuclei, the number of protons is lesser than the number of neutrons. This is because protons used to repel each other as they have a charge. Due to this high repulsion, the excess neutrons produce attractive forces. As a result, the stability is maintained.
