  • Isotopes of Bromine: Calculating and Representing Isotopes with Extra Neutrons
    Here's how to write the isotope of bromide with 10 more neutrons than its atomic number:

    1. Using the Standard Isotope Notation

    * Atomic Number (Z): Bromine (Br) has an atomic number of 35.

    * Mass Number (A): The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. Since we have 10 more neutrons than protons, the mass number is 35 + 10 = 45.

    The isotope notation is written as: ⁴⁵Br

    2. Using Hyphen Notation

    * Element Symbol: Br

    * Mass Number: 45 (calculated above)

    The hyphen notation is written as: Bromine-45
