Some elements are rarer than others. Elements in the Periodic Table, up to and including iron can be produced in main sequence stars and these elements are re-distributed into space. Many of them are, therefore, relatively abundant. Elements further up the periodic table are produced in the more cataclysmic supernova explosions and so are rarer. This explains the different abundance of elements.
Isotopes can be stable or can decay in fractions of a second or over thousands of years. The decay process produces isotopes of daughter elements. So the abundance of a particular isotope depends on how stable it is, how stable its parent is and on the abundance of its parent.
What else can I help you with?
What are some isotopes more heavily weighted than other?
Isotopes contain a different number of neutrons.
What is the range of the numbers of isotopes chemical elements have?
Chemical elements have between 3 and 36 isotopes. The element with the smallest number of isotopes, 3, is hydrogen (H). The elements that have the greatest possible number of isotopes, 36, are xenon (Xe) and cesium (Cs).
Why do some mountains have snow and others not?
because some are higher than others
Why are some isotopes more abundant than others?
Isotope abundance is influenced by factors such as nuclear stability, the processes of stellar nucleosynthesis, and the conditions of their formation. Stable isotopes tend to be more abundant because they do not undergo radioactive decay, while unstable isotopes are often found in lower quantities due to their shorter half-lives. Additionally, certain isotopes are produced in larger quantities during specific stellar processes, such as supernovae or nuclear fusion in stars, which can also affect their relative abundance in nature.
Why are some isotopes weighted more heavily than others?
The type of element is decided by the number of protons in it's nucleus. Number of neutrons are either equal or more than number of protons. Mass of proton and neutron is almost equal and that of electron is almost negligible as compared to both of others. As number of neutrons differ, mass of the elements also differ. Though they have 'same' chemical properties. Such atoms with different mass are called Isotopes. If the number of neutron is more, then such Isotopes are having more mass (or weight.)
Why is it that some isotopes of an element are able to exist indefinitely?
Some isotypes are more stable than others. Decay occurs because of instability in isotopes, so stable isotopes do not undergo radioactive decay.
How much is a topps 2005 cracker jack ballplayers card worth?
depends... some could be rarer than others
Why do poke balls miss?
some Pokemon are rarer than others because they wanted there to be so few of them the ones that do show up have a smaller catch rate than other species of Pokemon
What are some isotopes more heavily weighted than other?
Isotopes contain a different number of neutrons.
Are wild horses endandererd?
Some breeds are even the exmoor pony is rarer than the giant panda!
Why are some stars are brighter than the others?
Because some are larger than others and some are closer than others.
What is a form of heavy and light elements of letter?
A form of heavy and light elements of matter can be seen in isotopes of elements. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass, with some isotopes being heavier or lighter than others.
Are geckos rarer than a cow?
geckos are more rare than cows.
Are regular isotopes originaly stable?
Some natural isotopes are stable or have half-lives greater than the age of the Universe. But other natural isotopes are radioactive and have finite half-lives. It all depends on the particular isotope.
What is the most rarest coat for a horse?
There isn't a most rarest, but certainly some colour coats are rarer than others. Ones like white with black manes and tails, and black with cream manes and tails are rarer. Rarer colours are creams, duns, roans and fair chestnut.
Why are some silver certificates larger than others?
because some people's are bigger than others
Is a shark more dandrous than an aligator?
yes. but are much rarer
