Answer:
Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. Let's use carbon as an example. There are three isotopes of carbon found in nature – carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. All three have six protons, but their neutron numbers - 6, 7, and 8, respectively - all differ.

Where is the work (I'll edit the answer)
Answer:
C8H17N
Explanation:
Mass of the unknown compound = 5.024 mg
Mass of CO2 = 13.90 mg
Mass of H2O = 6.048 mg
Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in the compound. This is illustrated below:
For carbon, C:
Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol
Mass of C = 12/44 x 13.90 = 3.791 mg
For hydrogen, H:
Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Mass of H = 2/18 x 6.048 = 0.672 mg
For nitrogen, N:
Mass N = mass of unknown – (mass of C + mass of H)
Mass of N = 5.024 – (3.791 + 0.672)
Mass of N = 0.561 mg
Now, we can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:
C = 3.791 mg
H = 0.672 mg
N = 0.561 mg
Divide each by their molar mass
C = 3.791 / 12 = 0.316
H = 0.672 / 1 = 0.672
N = 0.561 / 14 = 0.040
Divide by the smallest
C = 0.316 / 0.04 = 8
H = 0.672 / 0.04 = 17
N = 0.040 / 0.04 = 1
Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is C8H17N
The density of the rectangular solid is 4.96815 cm.
