Answer: the researcher has to obtain atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Explanation:

The isotopes are atoms of the same element (this is with the same number of protons) and different number of neutrons (which result in different atomic masses).

For example, all the atoms of hydrogen have 1 proton, all the atoms of sodium have 11 protons, all the atoms of uranium have 92 protons. But, while as said, all the atoms of hydrogen have the same number of protons, some atoms of hydrogen do not have neutrons, other may have 1 neutron (it is called deutirium) and others may have 2 neutrons (it is called tritium).

That means that, to change one isotope into a different isotope of the same element, the researcher has to obtain atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

The researcher can change one isotope into a different isotope of the same element by ADDING OR REMOVING NEUTRONS.
Isotopes refers to two or more forms  of the same element, which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. The difference in the number of neutrons of a particular element is what brings about isotopes, thus, isotopes can be created by removing  or adding neutrons to a particular element.<span />

An electric dipole having dipole moment of magnitude p is placed in a uniform electric field having magnitude E. What is the mag
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the potential energy of a dipole placed in an electric field is given by

U = - pE Cos θ

where, θ is the angle between dipole moment and the electric field vector.

For θ = 0°,

initial potential energy, Ui = - pE

For θ = 180°,

final potential energy, Uf = - pE Cos 180 = pE

Change in potential energy

ΔU = Uf - Ui

ΔU = pE - (-pE)

ΔU = 2pE

How many cubic meters of habitable space was available in skylab?
loris [4]

361 cubic meters of habitable space was available in the skylab. None of the given options are correct.

<h3>Who launched skylab?</h3>

NASA launched the first American space station, called Skylab.

The fuel tank of the Saturn SIV-B rocket stage served as the Skylab's residential quarters.

Skylab's livable capacity was large in comparison to the spacecraft that American astronauts had previously used 361 cubic meters.

Skylab offered 361 cubic meters of livable area.

Hence, none of the given options is correct.

To learn more about the skylab refer;

1) a cathode-ray tube is a type of ______ tube.
galina1969 [7]
1) Vacuum tube
2) silicon 
3) integrated, I.C.s
4) this one is worded weird. Transistors are the main part of voltage regulators but they use (require) diodes and capacitors, too.  And they are all put onto a microchip in the power distribution section.  sorry for the long explanation.
5) away from
6) directly, inversely
