An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons. Find the symbol of the element. |
Answer» Mass number of the element (p+n)=81 Let the number of protons =`x` `:.` Number of neutrons present `=x+(31.7)/(100) xx x =1.317x` `x+1.317 x=81 or 2.317x=81` `x=(81)/(2.317)=35` The element with 35 electrons (or Z=35) is bromine (Br) |
