Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes. The most common, magnesium-24, accounts for nearly 80% of the magnesium found

in nature. The atomic numbers and mass numbers for four different atoms are shown in the table below. Which of these atoms could be an isotope of magnesium?

Answer : There are mainly three isotopes of magnesium found in nature; namely Mg-24, Mg-25 and Mg-26. Out of which Mg-24 has 12 neutrons, Mg-25 has 13 neutrons and Mg-26 has 14 neutrons in their atoms. The number of protons and their atomic masses remains the same for the atom. The relative abundance in nature differs for all the three isotopes. Mg-24 has abundance nearly 80% in nature, Mg-25 has abundance as 10% and Mg-26 has 11.01% abundance.

Which characteristics are common to the three isotopes of hydrogen?
allsm [11]
D should be the correct answer.  isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic masses (number of protons and neutrons).  isotopes also have the same number of electrons since atoms need to have equal numbers of protons and electrons to not be considered ions.  Since the number of protons determines the chemical properties of the atom, we can say that all isotopes have the same chemical properties due to the fact that all isotopes have the same atomic number.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Which substance can act as an arrhenius base in an aqueous solution
8090 [49]
The substance that can act as an Arrhenius base in aqueous solution is sodium hydroxide since NaOH dissociates in water giving the sodium ions and the hydroxide ions. An Arrhenius base is a substance that is characterized by forming hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution.
