Among the following, the elements with even number of neutrons is .
1)Na
2)Al
3)Ne
4)He
Answers
Answer:
ne and na is the perfect answer
Answer: Ne(Neon) and He(Helium) will have an even number of neutrons i.e , 10 and 2 respectively.
Explanation: To calculate, the number of neutrons we use the formula:
N(number of neutrons) = (A) Atomic Mass - P/Z(Number of protons/ Atomic Number) .......................{as we know, protons(P)= Atomic Number(Z)}
Na- A=22, Z/P=11
N= 22-11
N= 11(odd number)
Al- A= 26, Z/P= 13
N= 26-13
N= 13(odd number)
Ne- A=20, Z/P= 10
N= 20-10
N=10(an even number)
He- A= 4, Z/P= 2
N= 4-2
N=2(an even number)
Conclusion: Neutrons are subatomic particles that are one of the primary constituents of atomic nuclei. Neutrons do not have any net electric charge associated with them. They do, however, have a mass which is slightly greater in magnitude than that of a proton.
