help! i suck at chem lol Identify the isotope using hyphen notation with the given composition: 76 protons, 113 neutrons, 76 electrons
Is there options?
nope
okay give me a moment to process this real quick
Ok
Whats the name of the element?
osmium
so then wouldnt the neutrons in the isotope be 114
One sec
okay
I think it would be Osmium-113
Also you wrote 113 are you sure its not 114?
well the question has is as 113
For the number of neutrons
Okay then we will use it
so Osmium-113
I think this will help you Atomic number=number of protons Mass number=the sum of the protons and the neutrons Isotopes=different versions of the same element, same number of protons Hyphen notation=name of element- mass number Mass number - atomic number= number of neutrons
Yes I believe so
okay that makes sense, thank you!
No problem!
So basically your mass number is 189 Your atomic number is 76
yes
Let me know if you need more help :)
will do!
I took chemistry last year so im kind of still trying to comprehend but I might be able to help you
thanks! i honestly dont like any science at all. also i am looking at the different types of isotopes but there isnt a Osmium-113
Your welcome! I don't like the science field either. Hmm
i just searched up something and it said usually the isotope is the number that is closest to the atomic mass
Your right, thats odd
i think it would be osmium-190 because there isnt a 189
Thats true also when I searched up the neutrons of osmium I found that it was 114
So it must be what you said
yeah I think my teacher put it in wrong on accident not sure tbh
Maybe
i hope it is lol its for corrections
Haha hopefully
anyways thank you, I wouldnt have figured it out alone:)
I gotchu! It was fun working with you
likewise!
Did you get it right? @mimih
no havent submitted yet, the test is kind of long I plan on finishing it tonight and the score will come up!
Ooh damn. Good luck
You can do it!
thanks!
okay so i was going through my tests and i just remembered that this was for a test correction and not a test, ive been so busy with HS classes and college so I confuse things all the time. Im about to check now if I got it right! @justus
Okay so I got the right answer but I wasnt able to back it up with sufficient details so I didnt get the points:( but I got the points for the other corrections
Oh im sorry about that.
its alright, thank you for the help tho!
