Which of the following symbols are not acceptable ? (i) `._(35)^(79)Br` (ii) `.^(79)Br` (iii) `._(79)^(35)Br` (iv) `._(35)Br`A. `(ii),(iv)`B. `(iii),(iv)`C. `(ii),(iii),(iv)`D. `(ii),(iii)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B `(3)` is not acceptable because shorthand notation for any nuclide consists of the symbol of the element with the atomic number written as a subscript on the left and mass number as a superscript on the left. `(4)` is not acceptable because if we know the name of the element `(Br)`, we always know its atomic number `(35)`, but we may not know its mass number. hence, it is essential to indicate its mass number. |
