Isotopes Ions
1. Problem: Identify isotopes/ions and their nuclear properties from the given notations.
2. Each isotope/ion is represented as $^{A}_{Z}\text{Element}^{charge}$ where $A$ is the mass number (protons + neutrons), $Z$ is the atomic number (number of protons), and charge indicates ion state.
3. Given isotopes/ions:
- $^{55}_{25}\text{Mn}$ (Manganese: 25 protons, 55 nucleons)
- $^{40}_{18}\text{Ar}$ (Argon: 18 protons, 40 nucleons)
- $^{96}_{42}\text{Mo}$ (Molybdenum: 42 protons, 96 nucleons)
- $^{48}_{22}\text{Ti}$ (Titanium: 22 protons, 48 nucleons)
- $^{207}_{82}\text{Pb}^{2+}$ (Lead ion: 82 protons, 207 nucleons, charge +2)
- $^{80}_{35}\text{Br}^{-}$ (Bromine ion: 35 protons, 80 nucleons, charge -1)
- $^{122}_{51}\text{Sb}^{3+}$ (Antimony ion: 51 protons, 122 nucleons, charge +3)
- $^{31}_{15}\text{P}^{3-}$ (Phosphorus ion: 15 protons, 31 nucleons, charge -3)
4. For each, neutrons count = mass number $A$ minus atomic number $Z$.
5. Calculations:
- Mn neutrons = $55 - 25 = 30$
- Ar neutrons = $40 - 18 = 22$
- Mo neutrons = $96 - 42 = 54$
- Ti neutrons = $48 - 22 = 26$
- Pb neutrons = $207 - 82 = 125$
- Br neutrons = $80 - 35 = 45$
- Sb neutrons = $122 - 51 = 71$
- P neutrons = $31 - 15 = 16$
6. Charges indicate electron count adjusted:
- Pb$^{2+}$ has 2 fewer electrons than protons
- Br$^-$ has 1 more electron than protons
- Sb$^{3+}$ has 3 fewer electrons than protons
- P$^{3-}$ has 3 more electrons than protons
Final answers:
$^{55}_{25}$Mn: 30 neutrons
$^{40}_{18}$Ar: 22 neutrons
$^{96}_{42}$Mo: 54 neutrons
$^{48}_{22}$Ti: 26 neutrons
$^{207}_{82}$Pb$^{2+}$: 125 neutrons, charge +2
$^{80}_{35}$Br$^{-}$: 45 neutrons, charge -1
$^{122}_{51}$Sb$^{3+}$: 71 neutrons, charge +3
$^{31}_{15}$P$^{3-}$: 16 neutrons, charge -3
