Isotopes of an atom is the same atom but the difference between them is that the number of neutrons in the nucleus would differ, depending on the mass number. So let's take a look at your problem and breakdown Tin.

A stable atom of Tin (Sn):
Atomic number: 50
Protons: 50
Electrons:50
Neutrons: 69
Mass Number: 119 (rounded-off)

The Mass number is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons.
Now in an isotope, everything is the same, except for the number of neutrons. We can solve for how many neutrons an isotope has base on the mass number. 

A = p + n
Where A= Mass number
            p = proton
            n = neutron

To get the number of neutron just get the difference between the mass number and proton.
n = A - p

For your given, the mass number is already indicated.

*Note that isotopes have the same number of electrons, protons and atomic number as the original atom. 
 
1. 115 Sn or Tin 115 
Atomic number: 50 
Protons:    50
Electrons: 50 
Neutrons: ?
Mass number: 115

Now we get the number of neutrons:

n = A - p
n = 115 - 50
n  = 65

So 115Sn has a mass number of 115, 50 protons, 50 electrons and 65 neutrons.

2. 117 Sn or Tin-117
Atomic number: 50 
Protons:    50
Electrons: 50 
Neutrons: ?
Mass number: 117

Now we get the number of neutrons:

n = A - p
n = 117 - 50
n  = 67

So 117Sn has a mass number of 117, 50 protons, 50 electrons and 67 neutrons.

3. 126 Sn or Tin-126
Atomic number: 50 
Protons:    50
Electrons: 50 
Neutrons: ?
Mass number: 126

Now we get the number of neutrons:

n = A - p
n = 126 - 50
n  = 76

So 126Sn has a mass number of 126, 50 protons, 50 electrons and 76 neutrons.

Debora [2.8K]
The Earth's rotation has no relation to the phases of the moon.
Like everything else in the sky, the moon rises in the east just like the stars, planets, and the sun.

Answer:

1. Inversely proportional

2. Option C. Boyle's Law

3. Directly proportional

4. Option C. Gay-Lussac's Law

5. Directly proportional

6. Option C. Charles' Law

Explanation

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure provided temperature remains constant. Mathematically,

V & 1/P

V = K/P

PV = K(constant)

Charles' law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to it's absolute temperature, provided pressure remains constant. Mathematically,

V & T

V = KT

V / T = K(constant)

Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to it's absolute temperature, provided the volume remains constant. Mathematically

P & T

P = KT

P/ T = K (constant)
