<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}

How can you find the number of neutrons that are in an atom of an element
Temka [501]

Answer:

You just have to take the periodic table of the elements, take the element that interests you. Then, you look at the formula of the element, at the top left you find the number of neutrons and protons and at the bottom left you find the number of protons. Then you just have to make the number from the top left minus the number from the bottom left.

What volume will 50.2 grams of co2 (g) occupy at stp?
Genrish500 [490]
Number of moles of CO2 =
Mass /Ar
= 50.2 / (12 + 32)
1.14 mols

For every 1 mol of gas, there will be
24000 cm^3 of gas

Vol. = 1.14 x 24 dm^3
= 27.36 dm^3

Why does a metal bond with a non-metal in ionic bondings?? ASAP please
crimeas [40]

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.
