"but the people magnified them" - Stable Nucleus



Some Suburbs of Tokyo with Paddy Fields in May

Stable Nucleus

Why is a neutron stable in an atomic nucleus (where a neutron is combined with a proton) while it is very unstable outside a nucleus?

Very Unstable: (d + u + d), a neutron alone

Stable: (d + u + d) + (u + d + u), an atomic nucleus with a proton  

But it is apparent that the pair looks more stable than the standalone elementary particle if d is expressed with 10 and u with 5 following their mass.


Very Unstable: (10 + 5 + 10)

Stable: (10 + 5 + 10) + (5 + 10 + 5)  => (10 + [5 + 10) + (5] + 10 + 5)


As you see, there can be two combinations (or protons) of (5 + 10 + 5) in the above stable status, if each particle moves more freely and interacts with one another more freely.

It should be noted that a proton (u + d + u) alone is very stable.  In other word, (5 + 10 + 5) is very stable as the heavy quark of 10 or d supports two light quarks of u (5).
