An element with mass number `81` contains `31.7%` more neutrons as compared to protons. Assign the atomic symbol. |
|
Answer» An element can be identified by its atomic number only. Let us find the atomic number. Let the number of protons = x `:.` Number of neutrons `=x+(x xx31.7 )/(100) =(x + 0.317 x)` Now, Mass no. of element = No. of protons + No. of neutrons `81 = x+x+0.317 x = 2.317 x or x=(81)/(2.317)=35` `:. " "` No. of protons = 35, No. of neutrons = 81 -35 = 46 Atomic number of element (Z) = No. of protons = 35 The element with atomic number (Z) 35 is bromine `._(35)^(81)Br`. |
