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:

Take the attached picture of a periodic table as a guide. You are finding for a solid metal. Therefore, streamline your choices by looking at elements written in black bold letters, because they are all solid. Next, if you look at the center, the legend for metals are colors in orange, yellow, flesh, lavender, pink, and cyan blue. These region would be your choices. Next, you want to find a metal that is shiny and ductile. The shiny appearance is a common characteristic of luster by materials. Ductility is the ability of a metal to stretch when under tensile stress. These properties are best exhibited by metals in the transitions metals colored in pink. Therefore, the answer to your question would be any of the metal in the pink area. Examples are Titanium, Chromium, Gold, Silver, Platinum, Tungsten, etc.
