How is the mass number of an isotope different from the average atomic mass that is on the periodic table?
The mass number for a particular isotope of an element is a precise value. The average atomic mass for an element is the value you would measure for that element given all the isotopes it has and their abundance in the sample.
What do scientists have to know about the new nucleus to determine whether the newly formed nucleus is that of a new element or that of a new isotope of a known element?
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.
What part of an atom do you measure in carbon dating?
The beta radiation of the isotope carbon-14 is measured.
How easily an element reacts with other elements is a measure of its what?
Measure of its chemical reactivity.
What element do scientist measure to classify magma?
silica
What nuclear decay of an isotope of this element is used to measure the age of archaeological artifacts?
The most common is carbon 14.

How does modern technology help decode the artifacts found in the dead sea scrolls?
Carbon dating (the measure of the isotope carbon 14) was used to estimate how old the scrolls were.

Which isotope contains the greatest number of protons?
Atomic number is a measure of protons and electrons. extra or less Neutrons are what make an isotope and are not included in atomic number. therefore element with the highest atomic number will also be the isotope with the highest atomic number. on my periodic table it is lawrencium at 103. (note although this might have extra neutrons making it an isotope, it will always have the same atomic number - atomic number isn't what determines an isotope it is mass number) if you meant mass number (which is what determines an isotope), you can subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find out how many neutrons there are and determine whether it is an isotope or not
What equipment to measure radiation from sodium chloride?
The isotope 22Na is radioactive but the concentration is extremely low. A measure of the radioactivity is not necessary.
What does amu measure?
amu is an anime character in shugo chara ------------------------------------------------- The atomic mass unit (amu) is 1/12 from the atomic mass of the isotope 12C in his ground state.
What element measures temperature?
Any element can be used to measure temperature.
What is the name of the instrument used to measure the relative abundance of an isotope?
This would be done in a mass spectrometer.
What part of an atom do you measure in carbon dating?
The beta radiation of the isotope carbon-14 is measured.
Is temperature considered to be an element?
No. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy in matter. It is not an element.
What does a calibrator do in nuclear medicine?
simply, it measure the activity of a radioactive isotope in Ci "curie" or in Bq "Becquerel"
