    1. The document discusses isotones, isoelectronic species, isotopes, and how to determine atomic weight based on relative abundances of isotopes. 2. It provides examples of isotonic triads with equal neutron numbers, isoelectronic ions with equal electron numbers, and identifies isotopes as naturally occurring mixtures of the same element with different mass numbers. 3. Questions and answers are provided as examples to illustrate isotones having the same number of neutrons, isoelectronic species having the same number of electrons, and how to calculate average atomic weight from relative isotope abundances.
