the isotopic composition of all elements
11Isotope — This article is about the atomic variants of chemical elements. For the British jazz fusion band, see Isotope (band). Isotopes redirects here. For the minor league baseball team, see Albuquerque Isotopes. Isotopes are variants of atoms of a… …
12Atomic weight — (symbol: A sub|r) is a dimensionless physical quantity, the ratio of the average mass of atoms of an element (from a given source) to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon 12.cite journal | author = International Union of Pure and Applied… …
13Molar mass — Formula mass redirects here. It is not to be confused with Mass formula. Molar mass, symbol M,[1] is a physical property of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound), namely its mass per amount of substance.[2] The base SI unit… …
14Isotope analysis — is the identification of isotopic signature, the distribution of certain stable isotopes and chemical elements within chemical compounds. This can be applied to a food web to make it possible to draw direct inferences regarding diet, trophic… …
15Mass spectrometry — (MS) is an analytical technique that measures the mass to charge ratio of charged particles.[1] It is used for determining masses of particles, for determining the elemental composition of a sample or molecule, and for elucidating the chemical… …
16igneous rock — Any of various crystalline or glassy, noncrystalline rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of molten earth material (magma). Igneous rocks comprise one of the three principal classes of rocks, the others being metamorphic and sedimentary …
17Isotopes of uranium — Uranium (U) is a naturally occurring element with no stable isotopes. In other words, all uranium is radioactive and hence vanishing by radioactive decay, yet it is also found in great quantity in the earth s crust. The natural isotopes are… …
18Isotopes of neon — Neon (Ne) possesses three stable isotopes, 20Ne, 21Ne, and 22Ne. In addition, 16 radioactive isotopes have been discovered ranging from 16Ne to 34Ne, all short lived. The longest lived is 24Ne with a half life of 3.38 minutes. All others are… …
19Isotopes of oxygen — Late in a massive star s life, 16O concentrates in the O shell, 17O in the H shell and 18O in the He shell There are three stable isotopes of oxygen that lead to oxygen (O) having a standard atomic mass of 15.9994(3) u. 17 radioactive isotopes… …
20Isotopes of helium — Although there are eight known isotopes of helium (He) (standard atomic mass: 4.002602(2) u), only helium 3 (SimpleNuclide|Helium|3) and helium 4 (SimpleNuclide|Helium|4) are stable. In the Earth s atmosphere, there is one SimpleNuclide|Helium|3… …
