I cannot choose hydrogen
Choose an element with at least three stable nuclides. Element name:
Write the isotope symbols for each of its nuclides, in order of abundance. (Some may be left empty.)
a.
b.
most abundant
c. Using the format from lecture, draw atomic models of its two (2) most abundant nuclides. Clearly label:
Nucleus, electron cloud, amount of electrons, protons, neutrons (also the amount of protons & neutrons)
d. Calculate your element's atomic weight using the mass and % abundance of each of its stable nuclides.
Does it match the atomic weight on the periodic table used in this class?

Expert Solution
Step 1

isotopes are group of atom which have same atomic number but different mass  number due to difference in number of neutron

isotopes have same physical and chemical property due same number of atomic number so they will have same electronic configuration

an atom consist of electron which are negatively charged , proton which are positively charged and neutron which hasno charge

 

in an atom number of electron =number of proton

 

also atomic number = number of proton

mass number = sum of number of proton + number of neutron
