Chapter 21, Problem 71AE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The symbol corresponding to each isotope in the given table is to be determined; also the isotope which is unstable, one which has magic number of protons and neutrons and one which yield potassium-39 after proton emission is to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The symbol of the given isotope is determined by the atomic number and mass number of the isotope.

The unstable isotope is the isotope which has least half life.
The magic numbers are 2,8,20,28,50 .

The isotope which releases potassium-39 on positron emission must have mas number greater than 39.
