    Simulation No. 3 Report Sheet

    Uploaded by

    kaitoyohsi
    The document is a report sheet from an isotope stability and radioactivity simulation. It contains data on isotopes including their symbol, number of protons, neutrons, electrons, atomic mass, abundance in nature, and whether they are stable or unstable. It also asks questions about what stable and unstable mean in the context of atomic nuclei, when a nucleus becomes unstable, the relationship between stability and the neutron to proton ratio, writing isotope symbols and explaining carbon-14 decay, and the relationship between isotope abundance and atomic mass.
