The element after removing two protons and two neutrons from the nucleus of neon-20.
Answer to Problem 1MCPE
Solution:
Oxygen-16 is the element which we will get after removing two protons and two neutrons from the nucleus of neon-20.So, option(d) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Given
Two protons and two neutrons are removed from the nucleus of neon-20.
Formula used:
Calculation
Since,atomic no.(
And, we know that no. of protons is the atomic number.
Therefore, when we remove two protons and two neutrons, then
So, the element is oxygen-16 whose atomic number is 8 and mass number is 16.
