Chapter 2, Problem 2.83E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The property of two isotopes, L and M, which would not be common, is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The three subatomic particles are electrons, neutrons and protons. Out of these three, neutrons and protons are located inside the nucleus of an atom. In case of a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to number of electrons. Atomic number of an atom is same as the number of protons. The mass number is calculated as the sum of neutrons and protons in an atom. Isotopes are the atoms which have same atomic number but different mass numbers.
