  • A. Number of isotopes
  • B. Mass number
  • C. Relative abundace of isotopes
  • D. Number of protons

Correct answer: Relative abundace of isotopes
  • A. Ultraviolet
  • B. Infrared
  • C. Radio waves
  • D. Microwaves

Explanation: Infrared radiation is involved in bond vibrations. When molecules vibrate, their bonds stretch, bend, and twist.
