e. They are often accompanied by the release of enormous amounts of energy.<br />
____ 221. Which statement concerning stable nuclides and/or the "magic numbers" (such as 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 or 128)<br />
is false?<br />
a. Nuclides with their number of protons equal to a "magic number" are especially stable.<br />
b. Nuclides with their number of neutrons equal to a "magic number" are especially stable.<br />
c. Nuclides with the sum of the numbers of their protons and neutrons equal to a "magic<br />
number" are especially stable.<br />
d. Above atomic number 20, the most stable nuclides have more protons than neutrons.<br />
e. The existence of "magic numbers" suggests an energy level (shell) model for the nucleus.<br />
