a) To determine: The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in P 82 208 b Solution: Protons = 82, Neutrons = 126, Electrons = 82 Explanation: For any given atom, X represented as: X Z A Atomic number = Z = Number of protons = Number of electrons ------------------ (1) Mass number = A = Number of protons + Number of neutrons ------------------ (2) Given: Atomic number Z = 82 Mass number A = 208 From equation (1) Number of protons = number of electrons = 82 From equation (2) Number of neutrons = 208 − 82 = 126 Conclusion: For P 82 208 b Number of protons = 82 Number of electrons = 82 Number of neutrons = 126 b) To determine: Atomic symbol of the isotope of lead with 132 neutrons Solution: P 82 214 b Explanation: Known: Number of neutrons = 132 Atomic number of lead Z = 82 = number of protons Therefore, based on equation (2) A = 82 + 132 = 214 Conclusion: Atomic symbol of this isotope of lead is P 82 214 b c) To determine: The atomic symbol of the element with 131 neutrons Solution: B 83 214 i Explanation: Known: Number of neutrons = 131 Mass number A = 214 Based on equation (2), the number of protons of the unknown element = 214 − 131 = 83 Since number of protons = Atomic number, Z = 83 Based on the periodic table, the element with Z = 83 is Bismuth (Bi) Conclusion: Therefore, the unknown atom is bismuth with atomic symbol: B 83 214 i
