Why do stable nuclei with many nucleons (those with a large value of A) have more neutrons than protons?
Q43.2
1. an individual nucleon interacts via the nuclear force with only a few of its neighboring nucleons
2. the electric force between protons acts over long distances
3. the nuclear force favors pairing of both neutrons and protons
4. both 1. and 2.
5. all of 1., 2., and 3.

What kind of unstable nuclei typically decay by emitting an alpha particle?
Q43.3
1. those with too many neutrons
2. those with too many protons
3. those with too many neutrons and too many protons
4. misleading question — the numbers of neutrons and protons in a nucleus are unrelated to whether or not it emits an alpha particle
