Answer:
Explanation: Atomic number is the number of protons or number of electrons.
Mass number is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.
Thus atomic number will be 35 and mass number is 35+38=73.
The representation of element is :
where Z= atomic number, A= mass number , X= chemical symbol of element
The representation of isotope of bromine with atomic number 35 and mass number 73 is :

The given compound 1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane is an optically active compound .
Because this compound does not have plane of symmetry (POS) and center of symmetry (COS) i.e. does not have di-symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .
It has chiral center.
Here , the chiral carbon is attached to the 4 distinct groups such as : methyl , ethyl , bromine , bromomethane .
<h3>What is di-symmetry?</h3>Di-symmetry is that which have no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .
<h3>Chiral center :</h3>Have Sp3 hybridized center (4sigma bond ) .
4 distinct group is attached to the chiral atom. form non -superimposable mirror image .
<h3>What is optical isomerism ?</h3>Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .
They differ in their behavior towards plane polarized light (ppl) .
