Table of nuclides one. Dotted borders mean that a nuclide has a nuclear isomer, and their color is represented the same way as for their normal counterparts. Table of nuclides A table of nuclides or chart of nuclides is a two-dimensional graph in which one axis represents the number of neutrons and the other represents the number of protons in an atomic nucleus. Each point plotted on the graph thus represents the nuclide of a real or hypothetical chemical element. This system of ordering nuclides can offer a greater insight into the characteristics of isotopes than the better-known periodic table, which shows only
Element-reactant-product table reaction equation is not balanced, it needs coefficients to show equality. Here is an example with the separation of natural gas from hydrochloric acid using magnesium.<br> Mg + HCl = MgCl + H <br>Here is the element-reaction-product table:<br> From this table we see that the number of hydrogen and chlorine atoms on the product's side are twice the number of atoms on the reactant's side. Therefore, we add the coefficient "2" in front of the HCl on the products side, to get our equation to look like this:<br> Mg + 2HCl = MgCl + H<br> and our table looks like
