- For the following isotopes that have missing information, fill in the missing information to complete the notation (a) X1434 (b) PX36 (c) MX57n (d) X56121arrow_forward40K is used to measure the age of Earth. Determine the number of protons and neutrons in 40K.arrow_forwardAn average atomic nucleus has a diameter of about m.arrow_forward
- The isotope of plutonium used for nuclear fission is 239Pu . Determine (a) the ratio of the number of neutrons in a 239Pu nucleus to the number of protons, and (b) the number of electrons in a single plutonium atom.arrow_forward2.86 For some uses, the relative abundance of isotopes must be manipulated. For example, a medical technique called boron neutron capture therapy needs a higher fraction of 10B than occurs naturally to achieve its best efficiency. What would happen to the atomic weight of a sample of boron that had been enriched in 10B? Explain your answer in terms of the concept of a weighted average.arrow_forwardThe isotope Si-28 has a mass of 27.977 amu. For ten grams of Si-28, calculate (a) the number of atoms. (b) the total number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.arrow_forward
