First, isotopes <u>are the atoms of a single element whose nuclei have a different number of neutrons</u>, and therefore, differ in mass numbers. You should know that atoms are formed by a nucleus that has a small size and is made up of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which are found in a region of the atom called the cortex.
The mass number, represented as A, <u>is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus</u>. On the other hand, the atomic number (Z) is <u>the number of protons that exist in the nucleus.
</u>
The isotopes of an element X are represented as follows,
<em>(see first attached picture)</em>
It should be noted that the number of neutrons of a chemical element can be calculated as the difference A-Z.
<u>The atomic and mass numbers of bismuth with 125 neutrons are</u>:
Z = 83
A = 83 + 125 = 208
Thus, the atomic symbol of the bismuth isotope with 125 neutrons is:

A. the wax is a both; 1. physical change-solid to liquid.
2. chemical change- burned to CO2 + H20 + heat + carbon as seen as black on the rod
b. the wick is neither; the wick does not change, just provides conduit for wax to flame
c. the glass rod is physical change; the carbon is only deported

The balanced equation for the formation of ammonia is as follows
N₂ + 3H₂ ---> 2NH₃
stoichiometry of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3
we need to find the moles of N₂, volume of N₂ has been given
molar volume is where 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L at STP.
if 22.4 L is occupied by 1 mol
then 3.5 L of gas is occupied by - 3.5 L / 22.4 L/mol = 0.16 mol
number of moles of N₂ present - 0.16 mol
1 mol of N₂ requires 3 mol of H₂
therefore 0.16 mol of N₂ requires - 3 x 0.16 = 0.48 mol of H₂
mass of H₂ required - 0.48 mol x 2 g/mol = 0.96 g
0.96 g of H₂ is required
