(D)are halogens.

David Collins · Accepted Answer

elements that have in in general and even number of and even atomic number in general have more isotopes than those with an odd atomic number.

Bryan Lynn · Answer

Okay, So chapter to palm to this news about isotopes I have here the three common carbon isotopes. So the big C, of course, in this symbol stands for the element in question for this case is carbon and at the bottom here, This little six that you see is the atomic number. And what the atomic number represents is the number of protons eso both a and B number of protons, an atomic number. They don&#x27;t change hope, but also are essentially the same thing. What is changing between these is the mass. And so this mass number is impacted by the number of neutrons. In an element. Of course, adding or subtracting electrons would change the charge, which does not happen from isotopes isotopes. The charge remains the same, but more importantly, electrons add very, very, very little to mass. And so it&#x27;s going to be the number of neutrons. See that differs from isotope to ice. Ato. That&#x27;s the number of neutrons

Alexander Burbelo · Answer

isotopes differ in the number of neutrons, so C is the right answer. A first number Proton. So that&#x27;s incorrect. Be reversed, the atomic number. So that&#x27;s also incorrect. And then the your first number of electrons, which isn&#x27;t correct.

Ahmed Ali · Answer

everyone. My name is on this question has shoes. What is the result if we subtract is a mass number negative toe atomic number. So here the last number is the number off Broadway blossom number off neutral, while atomic number is only the number off protein. So by subtracting them, we get the number off gluten. So the answer that say it&#x27;s equal number off neutron is is that true?

Carlene Jimenez · Answer

this question is asking how an isotope of a particular element will differ from other isotopes of that same element. Um, in general, isotopes of a particular element differ from one another, um, in their number of neutrons. Um, and this is just how isotopes I to find. Additionally, because the number of neutrons differ from one another, the different isotopes will have different atomic masses from one another. Um so, as it hopes differ from other isotopes of the same element because they have a different number of neutrons.

Bryan Lynn · Answer

Okay, so Chapter two problem one. What exactly does an atomic number tell us? Well, first was with what exactly is it the study of carbon And on O. R. No mental charge here is gonna be some numbers attached to it. Yeah, one of high. That&#x27;s a 12 and then one below on the left. And that&#x27;s a six in our atomic number. It&#x27;s going to be the one in the lower left here. The letters are atomic symbol, and that&#x27;s just as what element is it? And then here in the top is okay, So the atomic number represents the number of protons. So you know what? The very least it does that. But the thing is, all elements are generally assumed neutral. They can definitely appear on isotopes, but if it is neutral, then a neutral element will have an equal number of protons and electrons. Rex, the protons have a positive charge and trunks have a negative one somewhere to be neutral, those I need to be equal. And so assuming that we have a neutral element, then it will also tell us the number of electrons s. So this means that what is this topic number. Tell us we&#x27;ll definitely tells us number of protons. And in a neutral atom, it also tells us number of electrons, so both of those are correct.

Problem 14 Medium Difficulty

Choose the best answer. In general, elements with an even atomic number
(A) have only one isotope.
(B) have more isotopes than those with an odd atomic number.
(C) have the same number of protons as neutrons.
(D)are halogens.

Answer

In general, elements with an even atomic number have more isotopes than those with an odd atomic number.
So, option C is correct.

This is due to the fact that isotopes of odd atomic-number elements less stable than the isotopes of the elements of even atomic numbers.
