What makes two isotopes of the same element different? choose two.
different number of neutrons
different number of electrons
different atomic mass
different number of protons
how is a water molecule with a deuterium atom different from one with common hydrogen atoms?
it cannot freeze
it is the same in terms of properties
it is heavier
it is lighter
warm climates will create precipitation and ice with ("less" or "more") deuterium than cold climates. during cold times, ocean water will have ("less" or "more") deuterium.
when delta deuterium is high, it represents climates.
stable
cooler
unstable
warmer
why do oxygen isotopes show similar trends to hydrogen isotopes?
why does it matter what you are measuring (ocean vs. atmosphere) when you are examining oxygen isotopes?
