Answers
Correct Question:
Atom A has mass number of 238 and atomic number of 92 and atom B has mass number 235 and atomic number 92.
Answers:
a) How many protons in A & B atoms?
Ans.a) Number of protons = Atomic Number
In A atom,
Atomic Number = 92
Number of protons = 92
In B atom,
Atomic Number = 92
Number of protons = 92
b) How many neutrons in A & B atoms?
Ans.b) Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
In A atom,
Number of neutrons = 238 - 92
= 146
In B atom,
Number of neutrons = 235 - 92
= 143
c) Are A and B isotopes or isobars? Explain.
A and B are isotopes because they are having same atomic number (i.e; 92)
Answer:
a) protons in A is 92 and B is 92
b) neutrons in A is 146 and B is 143
c) A and B are isotopes
reason:
1. no. of protons or electrons is equal to the atomic number.
2. no. of neutrons is the difference between mass number and atomic number.
3. isotopes: they are elements with same atomic number but different mass number.
isobars: they are elements with different atomic number but same mass number.
