I've heard that having equal number of proton and neutron makes an atom stable, but why exactly?
Also, the only radioactive atoms I've read about so far all have extra number of neutron, but do we also have a radioactive atom that has LESS number of neutron than in it's natural state, or is it very uncommon?
