Isotopes are atoms of the same chemical element that have different masses due to differing numbers of protons in the nucleus. These are all averaged out to give the "normal" atomic mass that's on the Periodic Table eg: Cl = 35.5 its abundancy is 75% Cl35 and 25% Cl37.
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
The natural isotope 4He has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The natural isotope 3He has 2 protons and 1 neutron.
Neutron
False. Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen with 2 neutrons.
The number of neutrons of an isotope is the difference between the mass number of the isotope and the number of protons (equal to atomic number).
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
A neutron.
The natural isotope 4He has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The natural isotope 3He has 2 protons and 1 neutron.
1 neutron in 1H2 isotope.
deuterium
40.6
Neutron
When an atom is bombarded by a neutron, it may absorb the neutron and become unstable. This can lead to the nucleus undergoing a process called neutron capture, forming a new isotope of the same element through nuclear transmutation. The new isotope may be radioactive and undergo radioactive decay to achieve stability.
Deuterium, it has 1 neutron and one proton.
neutron to proton ratio :)
1 neutron in He-3 isotope. 2 neutrons in He-4 isotope (most stable)
D is deuterium, or 2H. An isotope of hydrogen with a neutron in addition to the proton.
