There are only four naturally occurring nuclides (out of 263$)$ that have both an odd number of protons and an odd number of neutrons. They are also among the first seven elements and each of them has the same number of neutrons as protons. Give their nuclide symbols.
Write the atomic symbol $\left(_{Z}^{A} X\right)$ for each of the following isotopes. a. $Z=8,$ number of neutrons $=9$ b. the isotope of chlorine in which $A=37$ c. $Z=27, A=60$ d. number of protons $=26,$ number of neutrons $=31$ e. the isotope of I with a mass number of 131 f. $Z=3,$ number of neutrons $=4$
