Write nuclear symbols for isotopes of uranium that have the following numbers of neutrons. The atomic number of uranium... 

Unstable isotopes are called radioisotopes. Symbols for isotopes show the mass number as a superscript and the atomic number as a subscript to the left of the symbol for the element. 

All elements with more than 83 protons are radioactive. The symbol for isotopes (Chap. 2) consists of the element s symbol with a subscript denoting the atomic number, and a superscript denoting the atomic mass which is the sum of protons and neutrons. Another method for denoting a specific isotope is to write the name of the element with a hyphen followed by the nuclear mass. The atomic number is implied by the element s name. 

Use the concepts of atomic number and mass number to determine the number of subatomic particles in isotopes and to write correct symbols for isotopes. (Section 2.3)... 

Symbols may be used to distinguish one isotope from another. One symbol that is frequently used is to write the name of the element, followed by a hyphen, and the mass number. Thus, oxygen-17 is used for the oxygen isotope with 9 neutrons, and neon-22 is used for the neon isotope with 12 neutrons. In Section 1.5, we referred to the fact that the carbon-12 isotope is used to define an amu. This would be the isotope of carbon with 6 neutrons. See the left side of Table 1.2 for more examples. The right side of this table gives yet another type of symbolism for isotopes. The superscript is the mass number and the subscript is the atomic number in this symbolism. 

Write the atomic symbols for isotopes with the following characteristics ... 

We can write symbols for isotopes. We write the nucleon number at the top left of the chemical symbol and the proton number at the bottom left.
