A stable nuclide is an isotope of an element that does not undergo radioactive decay over time. In other words, stable nuclides have a balance of protons and neutrons in their nuclei that allows them to remain intact indefinitely, without transforming into other elements or isotopes. Stability in nuclides is determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons and the forces at play within the atomic nucleus.
