Question

Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the following:

a. 36Cl-

b. 2H

c.Nitrogen-14

d.13C

Answer 1

Number of proton = Atomic number

Number of neutron = Mass number - number of proton

Number of electron = Atomic number +/- charge number

a)  ³⁶Cl^-

Number of protons = 17

Number of neutrons = 19

Number of electrons = 18

b) ²H

Number of protons = 1

Numer of neutrons = 1

Number of electrons = 1

c) Nitrogen -14

Number of protons = 7

Number of neutrons = 7

Number of electrons = 7

d) ¹³C

Number of protons = 6

Number of neutrons = 7

Number of electrons = 6
