There are many combinations because it is not all about the number of chemicals, but also about the size of the strand. The longer the strand the more combinations there are and more variations and various lengths provide various results.

Isotopes are elements that differ in the number in neutrons while the numner of protons are the same. The answers of the questions are: 1) 18/8 O 2) 22/10 Ne 3) 53/25 Mn 4) 37/24 Cr 5) 106/81 Ti.
Isotopes of any given factor all incorporate the equal variety of protons, so they have the identical atomic wide variety (for example, the atomic wide variety of helium is usually 2). Isotopes of a given factor include exceptional numbers of neutrons, therefore, special isotopes have special mass numbers.
