Answer: It is so because they have different number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species which have same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons.

They have same atomic number but different atomic mass.

For Example: $_6^{12}\textrm{C},_6^{13}\textrm{C}\text{ and }_6^{14}\textrm{C}$ are the three isotopes of carbon.

The number of protons in all the three isotopes is same which is 6 and the number of neutrons in the three isotopes are 6, 7 and 8 respectively.

Hence, it is so because they have different number of neutrons.

Analyze the transition of a photon

Lana71 [14]

Photons may be generated by the transition of an electron from one energy level in an atom or molecule to a lower energy level. Photons may be absorbed as they cause an electron to be raised from a lower energy level to a higher energy level (in an atom or molecule).
The photon itself does not undergo a transition of energy: it either exists (with an energy defined by its wavelength), or it doesn't exist (it was destroyed!). You could say that the emitting or absorbing atom/molecule/etc. undergoes a change, or transition, in energy. But "transition" is usually used as a name for the process of jumping in energy.

Perform the following operation and express the answer in scienfific notation 7.5x10 ^9 - 2.5 x 10^8

ycow [4]

The answer is in scientific notation 34^67 42’063 1220.

The correct form for scientific notation is a x 10^b. where a is a number or decimal such that the absolute value of a is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, or 1 ≤ |a|. < 10. b is the power of 10 required to make the scientific notation mathematically equivalent to the original number.

To write this number in scientific notation, you must first shift the number of decimal places from the original number by 4 places between 4 and 2. We're subtracting from the exponent because we're shifting the decimal four places to the right.
