Interpretation: The nuclear symbol of each isotope of sulfur has to be given. The number of neutrons present in each isotope has to be given and the consistency of the
Concept introduction: A different form of the same element is called an isotope.
The
The number of protons present will be equal to the number of electrons.
The number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number.
The average atomic mass of a chemical element is calculated by multiplying the atomic masses of its natural isotopes with their respective abundance.

Answer to Problem 11A
The nuclear symbol of each isotope of sulfur is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-33 is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-34 is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-36 is
No, the average atomic mass of sulfur is in consistence with the relative abundances of the isotopes.
Explanation of Solution
The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons present in the nucleus.
For an element
The letter A represents the mass number.
The letter Z represents the atomic number.
Sulfur has an atomic number of 16 but the mass number varies.
For a mass number of 33, the nuclear symbol of the isotope is
For a mass number of 34, the nuclear symbol of the isotope is
For a mass number of 36, the nuclear symbol of the isotope is
The number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number.
For a mass number of 33, the neutrons is
For a mass number of 34, the neutrons is
For a mass number of 36, the neutrons is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-33 is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-34 is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-36 is
The average atomic mass of sulfur is
The atomic mass of sulfur-33 and its relative abundance are
The atomic mass of sulfur-34 and its relative abundance are
The atomic mass of sulfur-36 and its relative abundance are
The average atomic mass can be calculated using the formula,
Average atomic mass=
Average atomic mass=
Average atomic mass=
Average atomic mass=
The average atomic mass of sulfur is not consistent with the relative abundances of the isotopes.
The nuclear symbol of each isotope of sulfur is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-33 is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-34 is
The number of neutrons in sulfur-36 is
No, the average atomic mass of sulfur is in consistence with the relative abundances of the isotopes.

- b) Certain cyclic compounds are known to be conformationally similar to carbohydrates, although they are not themselves carbohydrates. One example is Compound C shown below, which could be imagined as adopting four possible conformations. In reality, however, only one of these is particularly stable. Circle the conformation you expect to be the most stable, and provide an explanation to justify your choice. For your explanation to be both convincing and correct, it must contain not only words, but also "cartoon" orbital drawings contrasting the four structures.
