4 0
All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 areradioisotopes<span> meaning that these elements have</span>unstable<span> nuclei and are </span>radioactive<span>. Elements with atomic numbers of 83 and less, have </span>isotopes<span> (</span>stablenucleus) and most have at least one radioisotope (unstable<span> nucleus).



</span>A Radioisotope is also an isotope<span> by nature. The </span>difference<span> is that radioisotopes are very unstable and contain high levels of nuclear energy and emit this energy in the form of nuclear radiation. Main </span>difference<span>: </span>Isotopes<span> can be </span>stable<span> or unstable, but Radioisotopes are always unstable.</span>

Goshia [24]

A. making an observation.

Explanation:

When scientists use one of their five sense to gather information, they are simply making an observation.

Most physical properties of matter are studied using sense of taste, of feel, sight, hearing and smell.

  • Observation is the act of making a measurement or studying.
  • It helps to investigate particular phenomenon in nature.
  • Most observations made with our senses are usually qualitative in nature.
  • They cannot be assigned values like quantitative ones.

Boron has an average mass of 10.81. One isotope of boron has a mass of 10.012938 and a relative abundance of 19.80 percent. The
Andrej [43]

The average mass of an atom is calculated with the formula:

average mass = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2) + ...  an so on

For the boron we have two isotopes, so the formula will become:

average mass of boron = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2)

We plug in the values:

10.81 = 0.1980 × 10.012938  + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 = 1.98 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

10.81 - 1.98 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

8.83 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)

mass of isotope (2) = 8.83 / 0.8020

mass of isotope (2) = 11.009975

mass of isotope (1) = 10.012938 (given by the question)

here is ur and

Explanation:

Coal, oil and natural gas are called fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are burned to make energy. Burning fossil fuels also releases CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas into the atmosphere. Most air pollutants (such as sulfur dioxide) don't stay in the atmosphere very long.
