Chart of Nuclides: Xe128 and Processes for X+-5

In summary, the conversation discusses the process of choosing a mass number on the chart of the nuclides and showing the s, r, and p processes for that number. The speaker chose Xe128 and also mentions the magic number Sn124 and the element Te123, which they confirm to be part of the s-process. They also mention finding a helpful website for further understanding.

The above link is what I've done for this question.

The problem was that we had to choose a mass number X on the chart of the nuclides and then had to show the s,r and p processes on the chart for X+-5.

So I chose Xe128 and have done X+-5

However, Sn 124 is a magic number and I'm not sure about this??
I also wanted to check if everything else is ok and is Te123 just an s process?

Thanks for any help

Nevermind I found a site that explains how to do this so I found that Te123 is s-process and so is Sn124.
 

FAQ: Chart of Nuclides: Xe128 and Processes for X+-5

What is a chart of the nuclides?

A chart of the nuclides is a graphical representation of all known atomic nuclei and their nuclear properties, such as the number of protons and neutrons, their mass, and their stability. It is often used in nuclear physics and chemistry to study the relationships between different types of nuclei.

How is a chart of the nuclides organized?

A chart of the nuclides is organized by arranging nuclides in a grid-like structure, where the number of protons is plotted on the vertical axis and the number of neutrons is plotted on the horizontal axis. This allows for easy visualization of the properties of different nuclei and the relationships between them.

What is the purpose of a chart of the nuclides?

The purpose of a chart of the nuclides is to provide a comprehensive overview of all known atomic nuclei and their properties. It is used by scientists to study nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, and nuclear decay processes. It is also useful for predicting and understanding the behavior of radioactive isotopes.

How often is a chart of the nuclides updated?

A chart of the nuclides is updated regularly as new research and data become available. With advancements in technology, we are constantly discovering new isotopes and refining our knowledge of nuclear properties. Therefore, the chart is constantly evolving and being updated to reflect the latest information.

Are there different versions of a chart of the nuclides?

Yes, there are different versions of a chart of the nuclides. Some charts only include stable and long-lived isotopes, while others include all known isotopes, including short-lived and artificial ones. Additionally, there are different types of charts, such as color-coded charts or interactive charts, that may display the information in different ways.
