I've viewed lots of questions on the internet of this nature and almost all of them dodged the question or simply gave an answer tantamount to "because it is".
I already know that Technetium is unstable and radioactive.
What exactly on an atomic level prevents Technetium from being stable when all of the other adjacent nearby elements are just fine. What makes 43 protons unstable, but 44 and 42 protons perfectly fine?
