Homework Statement



write the "proper chemical designation" for the following isotopes
a. uranium-238
b. carbon-14
c.polonium-210


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



would i just state number of protons, electrons and neutrons
uranium-238 carbon-14 polonium-210
p-92 p-6 p-84
e-92 e-6 e-84
n- 238-92=146 n 14-6=8 n-210-84=126

IS THIS HOW TO SHOW "PROPER CHEMICAL DESIGNATION" OR IS THERE A DIFFERENT WAY
