14 hours ago comment added stickynotememo This question is similar to: Why is the nucleus of an Iron atom so stable?. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem.
14 hours ago comment added stickynotememo I'd argue that this question is a dupe of that given we also marked physics.stackexchange.com/questions/232875 as a dupe of that.
