Which of the following statements are true about nuclei and thenuclear force?

1)The nuclear force is a short-range repulsive force.
2)The nuclear force is weaker than the electric (Coulomb)force.
3)The mass number (A) indicates the number of nucleons in anucleus.
4)Isotopes are nuclei that have the same number of neutrons, butdifferent numbers of protons.
5)There are Z protons in a nucleus (where Z is atomicnumber).
6)The chemical symbol is determined by the atomic mass number, A.

Though the common isotope of aluminum has a mass number of 27, isotopes of aluminum have been isolated (or prepared in nuclear reactors) with mass numbers of 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, and 30. How many neutrons are present in each of these isotopes? Why are they all considered aluminum atoms, even though they differ greatly in mass? Write the atomic symbol for each isotope. 

A mass spectrometer is designed to separate atoms of carbon todetermine the fraction of different isotopes. (Isotopes of anelement, as we will see in chapter 20, have the same atomic numberbut different atomic mass, due to different numbers of neutrons.)There are three main isotopes of carbon, with the following atomicmasses:

12C 1.99x10-26kg

13C 2.16x10-26kg

14C 2.33x10-26kg

The atoms of carbon are singly ionized and enter a massspectrometer with magnetic field strength B=0.200T at a speed of1.50x105m/s. The ions move along a semicircular path andexit through an exit slit. How far from the entrance will the beamsof the different isotope ions end up?
