ANSWER:Chapter 2:Problem 2.96Gallium (Ga) consists of two naturally occurring isotopes with masses of 68.926 and 70.925amu. (a) How many protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of each isotope Write thecomplete atomic symbol for each, showing the atomic number and mass number. (b) Theaverage atomic mass of Ga is 69.72 amu. Calculate the abundance of each isotope.Solution:Here, we are going to calculate the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of eachisotope of bromine. Also, we are going to write the complete atomic symbol for each isotope andcalculate their abundance.(a): Calculation of number of protons and neutrons.Step1:Isotopes are the atoms having same atomic number(number of protons) but different massnumber(number of protons + neutrons).Let the two isotopes of gallium be Ga-1 and Ga-2The atomic numbe
