Explanation:

Calcium sulphate,CaSO4, is a odourless, white powder or a colourless, crystallines solid.It exists in as different hydrates: anhydrous(CaSO4), dihydrate(CaSO4.2H2O) and hemihydrate(CaSO4. 1/2 H2O).

The main use of calcium sulphate,specifically in hospitals,is plaster of paris cast.The powdered form of CaSO4 can be formed into a moldable paste upon hydration.

Compare the following sodium atoms in terms of their neutrons and mass numbers 24Na, 23Na

olga_2 [115]

Na-24 and Na-23 have the same number of atoms=11, different neutrons(13 and 12),different mass number(24 and 23)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes have the same number of protons and having a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

₁₁²³Na

number of atoms = 11

mass number = 23

number of neutrons=23-11=12

₁₁²⁴Na

number of atoms = 11

mass number = 24

number of neutrons=24-11=13
