First, isotopes <u>are the atoms of a single element whose nuclei have a different number of neutrons</u>, and therefore, differ in mass numbers. You should know that atoms are formed by a nucleus that has a small size and is made up of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which are found in a region of the atom called the cortex.
The mass number, represented as A, <u>is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus</u>. On the other hand, the atomic number (Z) is <u>the number of protons that exist in the nucleus. </u>
The isotopes of an element X are represented as follows,
<em>(see first attached picture)</em>
It should be noted that the number of neutrons of a chemical element can be calculated as the difference A-Z.
<u>The atomic and mass numbers of bismuth with 125 neutrons are</u>:
Z = 83
A = 83 + 125 = 208
Thus, the atomic symbol of the bismuth isotope with 125 neutrons is:

Data:
Arsenic Molar Mass = 74,9216 ≈ 75 u (<span>atomic mass unit)</span>
Solving:
1 mole of arsenic → 75g ------------ 6,02*10²³ molecules
..................................X -------------- 1 molecule
6,02*10²³X = 75
Arsenic Molar Mass = 74,9216 ≈ 75 u (<span>atomic mass unit)</span>
Solving:
1 mole of arsenic → 75g ------------ 6,02*10²³ molecules
..................................X -------------- 1 molecule
6,02*10²³X = 75
