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.

- Give the complete symbol (XZA), including atomic number and mass number, of (a) a nickel atom with 31 neutrons, and (b) a tungsten atom with 110 neutrons.arrow_forwardWhile traveling to a distant universe, you discover the hypothetical element X. You obtain a representative sample of the element and discover that it is made up of two isotopes, X-23 and X-25. To help your science team calculate the atomic weight of the substance, you send the following drawing of your sample with your report. In the report, you also inform the science team that the brown atoms are X-23, which have an isotopic mass of 23.02 amu, and the green atoms are X-25, which have an isotopic mass of 25.147 amu. What is the atomic weight of element X?arrow_forwardThough the common isotope of aluminum has a mass number of 27, isotopes of aluminum have been isolated (or prepared in nuclear reactors) with mass numbers of 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, and 30.
