Answer:

It is related to certain common meanings.

Explanation:

The word diffusion comes from the Latin diffusio (wide, dilated, scattered, something that is not appreciated correctly). The term diffusion is related to its Latin word because it is used to refer to the idea that something is scattered, scattered or spread. For example, the word diffusion is used to refer to the idea of the dissemination of news, culture or knowledge.

Have a nice day!

it means basically the same thing but can be used in different context. like if someone says, "lets diffuse the situation." it means lets separate it and find out what's going on with it. Like if you don't understand a sentence when you were younger your teacher would tell you to break down the sentence, and try to use context clues. What you are doing is diffusing the sentence so that your not looking at it as one big confusing sentence, your "breaking it down" and that helps you a lot. I hope I helped you, if not let me know and I can diffuse the topic a little more to make it more approachable and easy to understand. :)

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope
morpeh [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The isotopic representation of iodine is _{53}^{131}\textrm{I}

<u>For b:</u> The isotopic representation of cesium is _{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}

<u>For c:</u> The isotopic representation of strontium is _{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}

<u>Explanation:</u>

The isotopic representation of an atom is: _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

  • <u>For a:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is _{53}^{131}\textrm{I}

  • <u>For b:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is _{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}

  • <u>For c:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is _{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}
