What are the names of common isotopes of selenium?
Selenium has six naturally occurring isotopes, five of which are stable: 74Se, 76Se, 77Se, 78Se, and 80Se. The last three also occur as fission products, along with 79Se, which has a half-life of 327,000 years. The final naturally occurring isotope, 82Se, has a very long half-life (~1020 yr, decaying via double beta decay to 82Kr), which, for practical purposes, can be considered to be stable. Twenty-three other unstable isotopes have been characterized
How many nuetrons are in selenium?
From wikipedia:"Selenium has six naturally occurring isotopes, five of which are stable: 74Se, 76Se, 77Se, 78Se, and 80Se. The last three also occur as fission products, along with 79Se which has a half-life of 295,000 years.

Twenty-three other unstable isotopes have been characterized. " 74Se is stable with 40 neutrons 76Se is stable with 42 neutrons 77Se is stable with 43 neutrons 78Se is stable with 44 neutrons 80Se is stable with 46 neutrons see the related link for a complete table on isotopes of selenium.
Is the tightrope walker in stable or unstable equilibrium?
Unstable.
How many atoms selenium lose?
Selenium typically loses 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of a 2+ ion for selenium.
What are stable and unstable elements of nuclear chemistry?
Unstable chemical elements are disintegrated by radioactive decay.
