  • Atomic Mass & Isotopic Abundance

    41170 Atomic Mass & Isotopic Abundance The element boron consists of two isotopes, 10(superscript), 5(subscript) B and 11(superscript), 5(subscript)B. Their masses, based on the carbon scale, are 10.01 and 11.01, respectively.

  • Isotope Effect

    The reason isotopes H and D behave differently relates to their "dissociation energy," or the amount of energy required to break their bonds with other atoms.

  • Atomic Mass & Isotopic Abundance

    41169 Atomic Mass & Isotopic Abundance The element boron consists of two isotopes, 10(superscript), 5(subscript)B and 11(superscript), 5(subscript)B. Their masses, based on the carbon scale, are 10.01 and 11.01, respectively.

  • Absorption spectrum

    The vibrational frequency of a bond is determined by the bond strength and the masses of the atoms involved, and this frequency is often unchanged (or nearly unchanged) by other atoms connected to the original group.

  • Explain radioactivity in terms of an unstable nucleus.

    (Because the mass of any nucleus is less than the sum of the separate masses of its protons and neutrons, the missing mass is called the mass defect.) The mass defect in turn determines the binding energy.
