79-Br is more common because its abudance is 50.69%. 81-Br's abudance is 49.31% making it less common. Abudance is the rate at which the isotope is found in nature. In this case out of every 100 Bromine atoms you found 51 would be 79-Br and 41 would be 81-Br.
BromineThe number of protons in an element is always the same as the atomic number, which is 35 in this case. In a neutral atom (no charge), the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it will be 35 electrons also. However, the number of neutrons will vary depending on the isotope (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons). There are two isotopes of Bromine, 79Br and 81Br, having 44 neutrons and 46 neutrons respectively.See link below for more information on Bromine, as well as the related question below that will show you how to find the number of each subatomic particle in any atom.
Each isotope has the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons.
There is more than one isotope of argon (as there are of all elements) but the most common isotope is the one that has an atomic weight of 36; it has 18 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons. The same number for all three types of particles.
A nucleus of the Cl-37 isotope contains two more neutrons than a nucleus of the Cl-35 isotope.
Ca - calcium
If you are reffering to Calcium, Ca, the isotope with a mass of 40 is more abundant. The mass of Ca is about 40amu, so the isotope Ca-40 must be more common than Ca-42

Isotope A
The atomic number of Bromine is 35. That means the number of protons for the Bromine atom is 35 protons.The number of electrons in the Bromine atom is also 35.Bromine has two stable isotopes, 79Br (50.69%) and 81Br (49.31%). At least 23 radioisotopes are known. Accordingly, the number of neutrons for these two stable isotopes is respectively 44 and 46 neutrons.The isotopes of bromine range from 67Br to 98Br. That means the number of neutrons in a Bromine atom ranges from 32 to 63 neutrons.Refer to link below for more information.
It is radioactive. ------------------------------- Incorrect answer: americium-241, the usual isotope in smoke detectors is more radioactive.
A radioactive isotope will stop decaying when there are no more atoms of the isotope left.
Lead-210 (Pb-210) is an isotope of lead where the atoms have 3 more neutrons than lead-207, which is the most common version of lead.
The product isotopehas one proton more and one nuetron fewer than the reactant isotope.
Yes, the number of neutrons can be any number you want it to be, however there is typically only one stable isotope of an element. Radioactive elements and those in the f-block are more likely to have more than one isotope.
radiates either alpha beta or gamma radiation, in order to go to a more stable state
No, it is not.
The fluorine isotope differs from the fluorine ion because the fluorine isotope has a different number of neutrons from normal, while the ion has a different number of electrons. An isotope will have the same number of electrons as its atomic number (the number of protons), while the ion will add (more common in the case of fluorine) or subtract (very rare in the case of fluorine) electrons to the atom. The only thing they are similar in is the number of protons they have, which are the same.
