Interpretation:
The most abundant isotope of calcium needs to be determined from
Concept introduction:
An atomic species characterized by its nucleus constitution is known as a nuclide.
The nuclear energy of any atomic species is derived by the number of neutrons N or protons Z.
Mega electron volts are used to unitize energy.

- Write the following isotopes in nuclide notation (E.g., " C614 ")? (a) oxygen-14. (b) copper-70. (c) tantalum-175. (d) francium-217arrow_forwardPlutonium was detected in trace amounts in natural uranium deposits by Glenn Seaborg and his associates in 1941. They proposed that the source of this 239Pu was the capture of neutrons by 238U nuclei. Why is this plutonium not likely to have been trapped at the time the solar system formed 4.7109 years ago?arrow_forwardThe following nuclei do not lie in the band of stability. How would they be expected to decay? Explain your answer.. (a) P1534 (b) U92239 (c) C2038a (d) H13 (e) P94245uarrow_forward
- Write the nuclide notation, including charge if applicable, for atoms with the following characteristics: (a) 25 protons, 20 neutrons, 24 electrons. (b) 45 protons, 24 neutrons, 43 electrons. (c) 53 protons, 89 neutrons, 54 electrons. (d) 97 protons, 146 neutrons, 97 electronsarrow_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_forward
