Which of these conditions most likely produces an unstable isotope?

Large nuclei contain many positively charged protons, whose electrical repulsion makes the nucleus harder to hold together. A stable large nucleus therefore needs extra neutrons to add strong nuclear attraction without adding more electric repulsion. With equal numbers of protons and neutrons, a large nucleus often has too few neutrons to be stable; thus, equal numbers in a large nucleus is the best choice.
