Chemistry 10-23-09 Isotopes
CHEMISTRY: Here’s a weird bit of trivia. Did you know there is a baseball team called the Isotopes? No kidding, they’re a minor league team in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is a pic of their “Isotope Field.” Go figure! Almost all elements have naturally occurring isotopes is some amount. Are you getting the hang of writing hyphen notation and nuclear symbols? We’ll finish working on calculating average atomic mass on Monday. Use the formula I gave you today to work those problems on the homework. How’s the carbon isotope project coming?

Can there be man made neutrons that you could add to elements to create isotopes

to get the number of neutrons you subtract the mass number – the number of protons.

how do scientists know how many types of carbon there are that naturally occur in nature?

we finally figured out how to do average atomic mass what a relief haha

Are there a certain number of neutrons that can only be present in an atom or can there be as many as possible?

does every element have different isotopes of their atoms?

The review quizzes help a lot!
