<u>Answer:</u> The isotopic symbol of element is _{32}^{72}\textrm{Ge}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons that are present in an atom. It is represented as 'Z'

Z = Atomic number = Number of protons

Mass number of an element is defined as the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons that are present in an atom. It is represented as 'A'.

A = Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

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

We are given:

Number of protons = Atomic number = 32

Mass number = 72

The element having atomic number as 32 is germanium

Hence, the isotopic symbol of element is _{32}^{72}\textrm{Ge}

In which way does a balanced chemical equation demonstrate the conservation of matter?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A. It shows the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation demonstrates the conservation of matter by showing the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation or expression.

According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction but atoms are rearranged.

  • Based on this premise, the number of atoms or moles on both sides of the expression must be equal.
  • If there are 3 atoms of carbon on one side, the product must also reflect 3 atoms of carbon.
