Isotopes of same element has different number of neutrons with different masses and having same number of protons and electrons.
Radioactive isotopes are those isotopes which are radioactive in nature. The unstable nucleus results in the radioactivity process and this process will go on until the stable isotope (element) forms.
Thus, the nucleus of unstable isotopes of an element will decay leading to emission of radiation.
Full question options;
(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)
Answer:
Iron - Fe
Explanation:
We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.
Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;
Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.
This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.
Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;
Fe: [Ar]4s2 3d6
Fe2+: [Ar]4s0 3d6
Fe3+: [Ar]4s0 3d5
This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.
Yes because the protons are the same but the neutrons change
A. It is counterproductive
B. Vinegar
C. Ammonia
