- How is an atom’s atomic number related to its number ofprotons? To its number of electrons?arrow_forwardThe element lanthanum has two stable isotopes, lanthanum 138 with an atomic mass of 137.9071u and, lanthanum 139 with an atomic mass of 138.9063u. From atomic mass of La, 138.9u what conclusion can you make about the relative percentage abundance of the isotopes?arrow_forwardHow do isotopes of a given element differ? How are they similar?arrow_forward
