Q: Why is Gallium-69 stable, Gallium-70 unstable and Gallium-71 stable again?

swanteWhy is gallium 70 suddenly unstable, whereas it becomes stable again when you add another neutron? Shouldn't isotopes become unstable when there are either too few or too many neutrons? Why is gallium then unstable again in the middle?
