Answer: Some atoms of the same elements that have different atomic masses are called isotopes

Explanation:

so the atoms are the same element but different in mass. Since the isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons the isotopes have much the same chemical behavior. Since the isotopes have different numbers of neutrons the nuclear behavior differs.

Manganese, Mn, forms two ions, one with a 2+ charge and one with a 3+ charge. What is the formula for manganese (II) sulfide?

maria [59]

It would be MnSO4

The (II) lets you know it’s the form with a 2+ charge and Sulfate has a 2- charge

These will cancel out making it plain MnSO4

If it was manganese (iii) sulfide the answer would be Mn2(SO4)3
