Question

the number of electrons in element x is 6 and the number of neutron is 8. which of the following is the correct representation of the elements

Answer 1

Answer: The correct representation of the element will be $_6^{14}\textrm{C}$

Explanation: The number of electrons in element X = 6. the number of neutrons=8.

For a neutral atom , number of electrons = number of protons = atomic no.

Thus atomic no(Z) = 6, thus the element is carbon.

mass no (A) = no of neutrons+ number of protons

Mass no = 8+6 = 14

The representation is given in the form $_Z^A\textrm{X}$where X is the symbol of the element.
