<u>Answer:</u> The two isotopes of boron differs in mass number rather than atomic number.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species that have same atomic number but differ in their mass number.

Boron is the 5th element of the periodic table and have 2 naturally occurring isotopes. The isotopes are : B-10 and B-11

<u>For _5^{10}\textrm{B} isotope:</u>

Percentage abundance of this isotope = 20 %

Atomic number = 5

Mass number = 10

<u>For _5^{11}\textrm{B} isotope:</u>

Percentage abundance of this isotope = 80 %

Atomic number = 5

Mass number = 11

Hence, the two isotopes of boron differs in mass number rather than atomic number.

xxTIMURxx [149]
The simple trick which one can consider in such problem where it is asked for positron emission is :
<span>When the atomic number goes DOWN by one and mass number remains unchanged, then a positron is emitted.
</span>
<span>a.  </span>P^{30}_{15}  ----\ \textgreater \   Si^{30}_{14} + e^{0}_{1}^+
<span>
Here the atomic number decreases by one.

Similarly, options b and d are eliminated.

Option c is also not the answer.
For c, Count the atomic number on left side and compare it with right side. You will see it is 9 on left and 8 on right. Atomic no. did go down by 1. But the atomic mass is changed as well.

Un ácido nítrico tiene una densidad de 10% ,calcular el peso de 1000 centímetros cúbicos
devlian [24]
D = M/V
D = 0.10
V = 1000 cm^3

0.10 = M / 1000
M = 100

Porque la densidad es 10%, se puede usar 0.10 en este formulario para calcular el peso. No sé lo que es la unidad para el peso pero es 100.
