What does it mean isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.
What does the chemistry term abundance mean. Please answer in small words?
The amount of an isotope of an element that exists in nature, usually expressed as a percentage of the total amount of all isotopes of the element.
What is isotope oxygen is?
10 unstable isotopes
Elements in radioisotopes and their uses?
Presumably you mean radio-isotopes? These are produced usually in small reactors built for the purpose and possibly for other experimental purposes. Short lived isotopes are the most useful for medical tracer purposes as the activity soon dies away. Longer lived and higher energy ones are useful for radioactive treatment of tumors and other conditions. This question is not really relevant to Nuclear Energy and I will transfer it to Medical questions.
What do you think nuclear chemists mean when they say that 8 20 and 50 are magic numbers for isotopes?
It is simply that among period 2 elements, oxygen (8) is one of the elements which has the largest number of isotopes, among period 4 elements, calcium (20) has the largest number of isotopes, and among period 5 elements, tin (50) has the largest number of isotopes. In fact tin has the largest number of isotopes overall.
What does it mean of fusionable isotopes?
Fusionable isotopes refer to the larger isotopes that are usually relatively stable.
What does it mean isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.
With the mean absolute percentage error is a higher or lower number better?
The lower the better

How many types of helium there?
"Type" is ambiguous in this context. Do you mean isotopes? Or do you mean states of matter? (Helium has some exotic states of matter.)Wikipedia states that there are 8 helium isotopes, to of them (3-He and 4-He) stable."Type" is ambiguous in this context. Do you mean isotopes?

The average amu of an atom is found by finding the mean of its what?
Isotopes
What does it mean when someone calls you a farmers daughter?
it mean that you are a farmers daughter
How many questions can you get wrong on a test that has 100 questions in order to get a 78 percent?
if you get 22 questions wrong, you will have a 78%. less then 22 wrong would mean a higher percentage and more then 22 wrong would mean a lower percentage.
Is O radioactive?
If you mean oxygen: like most elements, it has both stable isotopes, and unstable (i.e., radioactive) isotopes. 16O, 17O and 18O are stable; the unstable (radioactive) isotopes include 15O and 14O.
Idotopes of the same element have different?
if you mean isotopes then isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus so have a different atomic weight.
What does 'daughter of the heart' mean in an obituary?
'Daughter of the heart' in an obituary would mean not a biological daughter but loved just the same as if she were.
