Concept introduction:
The three subatomic particles are electrons, neutrons and protons. Out of these three, neutrons and protons are located inside the nucleus of an atom. In case of a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to number of electrons. Also, the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in an atom. Mass number of an atom can be calculated by taking the sum of number of atomic number and number of neutrons.

- The following table gives the number of protons and neutrons in the nuclei of various atoms. Which atom is the isotope of atom A? Which atom has the same mass number as atom A? Protons Neutrons Atom A 32 39 Atom B 33 38 Atom C 38 50 Atom D 32 38arrow_forwardThe element rhenium (Re) bas two naturally occurring isotopes, 185Re and 187Re, with an average atomic mass of 186.207 u. Rhenium is 62.60% 187Re, and the atomic mass of 187Re is 186.956 u. Calculate the mass of 185Re.arrow_forwardObtain the fractional abundances for the two naturally occurring isotopes of europium. The masses of the isotopes are 151Eu, 150.9196 amu; 153Eu, 152.9209 amu. The atomic weight is 151.9641 amu.arrow_forward
