Isotope electrons in the neutral (non-ionized) atom. Each atomic number identifies a specific element, but not the isotope; an atom of a given element may have a wide range in its number of neutrons. The number of nucleons (both protons and neutrons) in the nucleus is the atom's mass number, and each isotope of a given element has a different mass number. For example, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 are three isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers 12, 13 and 14 respectively. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that every carbon atom has 6 protons, so that
Standard weight in fish common measures of condition used in fisheries assessment and management. Fulton’s condition factor, K, is another measure of an individual fish’s health that uses standard weight. Proposed by Fulton in 1904, it assumes that the standard weight of a fish is proportional to the cube of its length: formula_2 where "W" is the whole body wet weight in grams and "L" is the length in centimeters; the factor 100 is used to bring K close to a value of one. Standard weight in fish Standard weight in fish is the typical or expected weight at a given total length for
