(a)
Interpretation:
The sodium isotopes
Concept Introduction:
Atoms are made up of even smaller particles. These particles are very small and these are all the building blocks of atoms and they are known as subatomic particles. Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the subatomic particles that are found in atom. Electrons possess a negative electrical charge. Protons possess a positive electrical charge. Neutrons possess no charge and they are neutral.
An atom is said to be neutral as the number of protons and electrons are same. The presence of more number of neutrons also does not affect the charge neutrality. If the atoms of same element differ in the number of neutrons then they are known as isotopes. Isotopes have same number of protons and electrons but they differ in the number of neutrons present in them. As the numbers of electrons are same, their chemical properties are same. Their physical properties are different as they have different masses.
In other words it can be said that

In particular, list the chemical symbols (including any charge) of each dissolved ion in the table below.

For each reaction in the assignment, you must write each mechanism three times (there are 10 reactions, so 30 mechanisms). (A) do the work on a tablet and save as a pdf., it is expected to write each mechanism out and NOT copy and paste the mechanism after writing it just once. Everything should be drawn out stepwise and every bond that is formed and broken in the process of the reaction, and is expected to see all relevant lone pair electrons and curved arrows.arrow_forward
