A stable isotope has just the right number of neutrons for the number of protons (the n:p ratio) to hold the nucleus together against the repulsions of the protons.

A radioactive isotope has either too few or too many neutrons for the nucleus to be stable,

The nucleus will then emit alpha, beta, or gamma radiation in an attempt to become more stable.
