I REALLY NEED THIS!!!! FOR MY STUDY GUIDE!!! MY QUIZ IS TOMORROW!!!!!!
How many electrons, protons, and neutrons are contained in each atom?
a. 132/55 Cs
b. 59/27 Co
c. 163/69 Tm
d. 70/30 Zn

Respuesta :

The first number is the atomic mass. This is the total number of protons and neutrons

The second is atomic number, this is the number of protons-this number will never vary or change within that element because the number of protons is what makes an element that element

So to find the number of neutrons, you subtract the second number from the first.

The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons unless there is an additional charge which none of these have

A) neutrons: 132-55=77 neutrons

Protons:55
Electrons: 55

B)n: 59-27=32
27p
27e

C)163-69=94
69p
69e

D)70-30=40 n
30p
30e

Hope that helped!
