2.  How do nuclei hold together?  What are the 2 forces?  What role do neutrons have in holding nuclei together?

3.  Would the following isotopes be stable?  H-1, Ta-150, In-115, O-15?

4.  Calculate the binding energy of the following isotopes:   a)  N (14)   Atomic mass=14.003074    b)  Xe-131  Atomic Mass = 130.095069

5.  Write the alpha decay of  Th-232

6.  Write the beta decay (electron) of B-12 and the beta decay (positron) of Pb-208
