Answer 2

Given:

You are given an element 'X' with atomic number 16 and mass number 32u.

To find:

The number of subatomic particles ?

Calculation:

In a neutral atom , the atomic number is equal to the number of protons which in turn is equal to the number of electrons.

So, since X has atomic number = 16 ,

$\boxed{ \sf \therefore \: no. \: of \: {p}^{ + } = no. \: of \: {e}^{ - } = 16}$

Now , number denotes the total number of of neutrons and protons.

$\sf \therefore \: {p}^{ + } + n = 32$

$\sf \implies\: 16 + n = 32$

$\boxed{\sf \implies\: n = 16}$

So, number of neutrons is 16 , electrons is 16 and protons is 16.
