What are 3 general rules to predict the stability of an isotope

1 answer:

8 0

1) Calculate the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nuclide
--> If the number of nucleons is even, there is a good chance it is stable.

2) Are there a magic number of protons or neutrons?
--> 2,8,20,28,50,82,114 (protons), 126 (neutrons), 184 (neutrons) are particularly stable in nuclei.

3) Calculate the N/Z ratio.
--> Use the belt of stability (Figure 1) to determine the best way to get from an unstable nucleus to a stable nucleus

Answer:

$(B) Carbon Dioxide$

Explanation:

Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements
