<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The isotopic representation of iodine is _{53}^{131}\textrm{I}

<u>For b:</u> The isotopic representation of cesium is _{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}

<u>For c:</u> The isotopic representation of strontium is _{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

  • <u>For a:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is _{53}^{131}\textrm{I}

  • <u>For b:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is _{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}

  • <u>For c:</u>

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is _{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}
