3. Instability of the atomic nucleus: radioactivity
Different, complementary models (the liquid drop model, the layered model, the Fermi gas model) describe the structure of the atomic nucleus, and each interprets some of the observed properties of the atomic nucleus: nucleus stability, angular momentum, the existence of isomers and isotopes, neutron excess, decay energies, nuclear reactions (existence and occurrence), nuclear density.
