Write isotopic symbols in the form X-A (e.g., C-13) for each isotope. c. the uranium isotope with 146 neutrons

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the element symbol for uranium, which is 'U'.
Determine the atomic number of uranium, which is 92. This represents the number of protons in the nucleus.
Use the given number of neutrons, which is 146, to find the mass number. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons: Mass number = 92 (protons) + 146 (neutrons).
Combine the element symbol and the mass number to write the isotopic symbol in the form X-A.
The isotopic symbol for the uranium isotope with 146 neutrons is U-238.

Concetti chiave

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

Isotopes

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This difference in neutron count results in varying atomic masses for the isotopes of the same element. For example, carbon has isotopes like carbon-12 and carbon-14, where the numbers indicate the total number of protons and neutrons.

Nuclear Notation

Nuclear notation is a way of representing isotopes using the format X-A, where X is the chemical symbol of the element and A is the mass number (the sum of protons and neutrons). For instance, in the notation C-14, 'C' represents carbon, and '14' indicates that the isotope has a total of 14 nucleons (6 protons and 8 neutrons). This notation helps in identifying specific isotopes easily.

Uranium Isotopes

Uranium has several isotopes, the most notable being uranium-238 and uranium-235. The isotope mentioned in the question, with 146 neutrons, corresponds to uranium-382, as uranium has 92 protons. Understanding the relationship between protons, neutrons, and isotopes is crucial for accurately writing isotopic symbols and recognizing the properties of different uranium isotopes.
