Let the atom has x protons.
Mass of 1 proton is 1837 times that of an electron.
Therefore mass of x protons will be 1837x times that of an electron.
Thus, ATQ,
1837x=36740
or, x=20
Therefore the element has 20 protons,that is, the element is Calcium.
The electronic representation of the element will be:-
K=2 ; L=8 ; M=8 ; N=2.
