    This document summarizes factors that influence chemical and nuclear stability. Nuclear stability depends on magic numbers of protons and neutrons, the neutron-to-proton ratio, and the odd-even rule. Nuclei are most stable when the numbers of protons and neutrons match magic numbers like 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126 or when the neutron-to-proton ratio is approximately 1. The odd-even rule states that nuclei with even numbers of both neutrons and protons are most stable. Chemical stability depends on factors like molecular symmetry, temperature, and the relative masses of reacting elements. Stability is a relative term that must be considered under specific conditions.
