The Historical Development of Atomic Theory

Question 23 • SVHS Chemistry 1 $FA

Use the periodic table to determine which of the following could be an isotope of indium (In). Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Z = 49, A = 113
B
N = 64, Z = 49
C
N = 61, A = 113
D
A = 110, N = 49

Explanation

An isotope of indium must have atomic number Z = 49. Choice A gives Z = 49 directly. In choice B, Z = 49 and N = 64, so its mass number is A = Z + N = 49 + 64 = 113; it can also be an indium isotope. Choice C gives Z = 113 − 61 = 52, and choice D gives Z = 110 − 49 = 61, so neither is indium.
