Step 1: The atomic number (the subscript) represents the number of protons in an atom. In this case, the atomic number is 53, which corresponds to the element Iodine (I) in the periodic table.
Step 2: The atomic mass number (the superscript) represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. In this case, the atomic mass number is 127.
Step 3: To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number. So, the number of neutrons is 127 - 53.
Step 4: Therefore, the element represented by the symbol 12753X is Iodine (I), with 53 protons and 74 neutrons.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Atomic Number

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It uniquely identifies an element and determines its position on the periodic table. In the notation <sup>127</sup><sub>53</sub>X, the subscript '53' indicates that the element has 53 protons.

Mass Number

The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It is represented by the superscript in the notation <sup>127</sup><sub>53</sub>X, where '127' signifies the combined total of protons and neutrons. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.

Element Identification

Each element is defined by its unique atomic number, which corresponds to its chemical properties. By knowing the atomic number (53 in this case), one can identify the element as iodine (I). Understanding the relationship between atomic number, mass number, and elemental identity is crucial for interpreting chemical symbols.

The nucleus of 6Li is a powerful absorber of neutrons. It exists in the naturally occurring metal to the extent of 7.5%. In the era of nuclear deterrence, large quantities of lithium were processed to remove 6Li for use in hydrogen bomb production. The lithium metal remaining after removal of 6Li was sold on the market. (b) The atomic masses of 6Li and 7Li are 6.015122 and 7.016004 u, respectively. A sample of lithium depleted in the lighter isotope was found on analysis to contain 1.442% 6Li. What is the average atomic weight of this sample of the metal?
