Write the symbolic and hyphen notation for Krypton (OK I might be a LITTLE biased)...

symbolic - atomic # and mass # switched

hyphen notation : element followed by dash and mass number

In your own words, what is the difference between a chemical reaction and a nuclear reaction?

Chem reaction -rearrangment of atoms 

Nuclear - reaction occurs within the NUCleus

Element Z has an average atomic mass of 156. It has the following isotopes:

Z-152, Z-155, and Z-159. Which Isotope is most abundant and why?

What is Z-155? Because it is the number closest to 156.
