    We are given the number of protons and neutrons of the radionuclide

    protons = 31

    neutrons = 36

    What is true about the radionuclide is that it is a stable isotope. For an isotope to be stable, the number of neutrons must be greater than the number of protons. The neutron to proton ratio must also be greater than 1 but less than 1.5 which is true for the given radionuclide.
