Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. Neodymium belongs to the lanthanide series and is a rare-earth element.It is a hard, slightly malleable silvery metal that quickly tarnishes in air and moisture. When oxidized, neodymium reacts quickly to produce pink, purple/blue and yellow compounds in the +2, +3 and +4 oxidation states. Copper and sulfur isotope systematics in blood.

The recent use of copper isotopes as biomarkers for neoplasia in both human and veterinary medicine is a promising and cost-effective diagnostic tool. Two hundred and twenty-nine serum samples from 10 different species of wild felids under human care were processed through mass spectrometry to determine the ratio of heavy and light copper isotopes ( 65 Cu/ 63 Cu).

Atomic Weight
The atomic weight is the mass of an atom, typically expressed in atomic mass units (amu). For an isotope, it is the mass of the nucleus, that is the mass of the protons and neutrons, as the mass of the electrons are considered negligible. In their natural state only 21 elements exist as single isotopes, that is a sample has nuclei of only one isotope, and these are called the mononuclidic elements. Most elements exist as a mixture of nuclei from multiple isotopes, and these are labeled as the polynuclidic elements. The atomic weight of a monuclidic element is that mass of that nuclide.
For a polynuclidic element the atomic weight is the average weight based on the fractional abundance of each isotope, and this is the value given on the periodic table. Copper has two isotopes, 63Cu (69.15%, mass=62.9300 amu) and 65Cu (30.85%, mass = 64.928 amu), and so the respective mole fractions are 0.6915 and 0.3085, resulting in an average atomic weight of 63.55 amu, even though there is not a single atom that weighs 63.55 amu.
[underbrace{0.6915}_{fraction ; ^{63}Cu}underbrace{(62.9300, amu)}_{mass ; ^{63}Cu} + underbrace{ 0.3085}_{fraction ; ^{65}Cu} underbrace{(64.928 ,amu)}_{mass ; ^{65}Cu} = underbrace{63.55, amu}_{text{average mass}} note: ; 0.6915 + 0.3085 = 1] |
Figure (PageIndex{1}): Natural samples of copper contain two isotopes, and its atomic weight is to four significant digits is 63.55 amu, even though there is not a single atom of copper that weights 63.55 amu.

- 35, 17
- 17, 35
- 35.4527; 17
- 35.4527; 35
C) the atomic weight is the average of mass of all isotopes of chlorine atoms and found below the symbol on the periodic table. The atomic number is the number of protons in all chlorine atoms and is found on the top of the symbol in the periodic table.
