Chapter 2.2, Problem 2.9P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of electrons in a neutral atom which contain nine protons and ten neutrons has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Electrons:

Electrons have an electric charge of -1, which is equal but opposite to the charge of a proton, which have an electric charge of +1.  All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons, so the positive and negative charges cancel out making atoms electrically neutral.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The atomic number of an element with nine protons and ten neutrons has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Atomic number (Z):

Atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The element with nine protons and ten neutrons has to be identified.
