(1) Is there any equation to determine how many neutrons there should be to keep an atom stable? I don't mean mass - number of protons. I mean the equation that can determine an interval of neutrons based on atomic number only and the forces.
(2)Why can't there be an hydrogen atom with 6 neutrons?
(3) Do neutrons repel each other? Isn't there enough space for neutrons to make for example hydrogen atom with 6 neutrons?
(4) How to calculate the heaviest possible atom? How come there exist a limit for atoms? I know that + repels +, but neutrons keep protons together. What kind of other forces are involved in this process except electromagnetism?
(5) Why for example exist U236 and U238 isotope, but not U237 isotope, what makes this difference?
(6) Can an atom be modeled? For example protons and neutrons are put in sequence to keep an atom even more stable or even to create new stable atoms?
(7) Do every isotope acts the same? Have the same properties? U238 will have the same half-life, or it is just an average?
A lot of questions in my head, I'm looking for some math, formulas, papers, and most of all answers. thank you
