As to the first part - yes - Ni-62 is a singularity in the

Ok, then the following questions pops into my mind:
Why is it that although having the highest binding energy the stable
Ni-62 isotope only accounts for 3.634 % of all Ni isotopes?
Shouldn't that be a lot higher or is there a special reason why it is so
low compared to Ni-58 (68.077 %), Ni-60 (26.223 %), Ni-61 (1.114 %) and
Ni-64 (0.926 %)?
Kind regards,
