$II$. Only one isotope of an element can be stable and non-radioactive.

$III$. All elements have isotopes.

$IV$. All isotopes of carbon can form chemical compounds with oxygen-$16$.

The gravitational attraction between electron and proton in a hydrogen atom is weaker than the coulomb attraction by a factor of about $10^{-40} .$ An alternative way of looking at this fact is to estimate the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom if the electron and proton were bound by gravitational attraction. 

The Rutherford $\alpha$-particle experiment shows that most of the $\alpha$-particles pass through almost unscattered while some are scattered through large angles. What information does it give about the structure of the atom

The transition from the state $n = 3$ to $n = 1$ in a hydrogen like atom results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition from
