The elements are identified by the number of protons of the atom, which is its atomic number.

In this case the number of protons 39 (atomic number 39) permit you to identify the element as gallium.

Now, to identify the isotope you tell the name of the element and add the mass number.

The mass number is the sum of the protons and the neutrons

In this case, the number of neutrons is the original 39 plus the 2 added suddenly, i.e. 39 + 2 = 41, so the mass number is 31 + 41 = 72

Therefore, the isotope is gallium - 72.

Answer: isotope gallium - 72

What are the four most common problems that can arise in your motor design?
Nuetrik [128]

Electric motors are an essential part of our daily life as many systems, applications, and services depend on them. Motors today have a long service life and require a minimum level of maintenance to make sure that they perform efficiently. In large buildings, motors have to be maintained on a regular basis because they need to be in operation all the time; one small problem could cause a great loss to the organization.

Usually in large organizations, a motor maintenance program is carried out in which the causes of motor failures are identified and some necessary steps are taken to avoid them or lower their impact. Motors need to be inspected regularly, and other maintenance activities need to be performed to ensure efficient operation. Whenever a problem occurs, it should be corrected immediately to avoid further loss.

How does density relate to the cold and warm air masses?
Amanda [17]
Warmer  air   is   less  dense  than  cold air.As  air  warm  it  rises  while  the  cold  air  sink. Warmer  air  masses forces the  cooler  air to  move  which  causes  wind.  These  is  illustrated  when  you  open  a hot oven the  hotter  air  inside  the  oven  rises  into  cooler  air  outside  the  oven.
