(a)

To determine

The symbols for other two isotopes of Nitrogen.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Isotopes are the element having same atomic number with different atomic weight or mass number.

An Isotope is another form of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Therefore, different isotopes of different elements have different atomic mass. Isotopes are either stable or radioactive in nature.

The element Nitrogen (N) has atomic number 7 , atomic weight 14a.m.u. present in group 15 and period 2 of the periodic table. Nitrogen can have one more or one less neutron in its nucleus therefore there are two other Nitrogen with mass number 13 and 14.

Write the symbols of the other two isotopes of Nitrogen.

  13N and 15N

Conclusion:

Thus, the other two Isotopes of Nitrogen are 13N and 15N .

(b)

To determine

The symbols for other two isotopes of Iron.

An Isotope is another form of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Therefore, different isotopes of different elements have different atomic mass. Isotopes are either stable or radioactive in nature.

The element Iron (Fe) has atomic number 26 , atomic weight 56a.m.u. present in group 8 and period 4 of the periodic table. Iron can have two less neutrons in its nucleus therefore, there are two other Iron with mass number 54 and 55 .

Write the symbols of the other two isotopes of Iron.

  54Fe and 55Fe

Conclusion:

Thus, the other two Isotopes of Iron are 54Fe and 55Fe .

(c)

To determine

The symbols for other two isotopes of Tin.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Isotopes are the element having same atomic number with different atomic weight or mass number.

An Isotope is another form of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Therefore, different isotopes of different elements have different atomic mass. Isotopes are either stable or radioactive in nature.

The element Tin (Sn) has atomic number 50 , atomic weight 118 a.m.u. present in group 14 and period 5 of the periodic table. Tin can have one less and one more neutrons in its nucleus therefore, there are two other Tin with mass number 117 and 118 .

Write the symbols of the other two isotopes of Tin.

  117Sn and 118Sn

Conclusion:

Thus, the other two Isotopes of Tin are 117Sn and 118Sn .
