if an atom has 17 electrons and its mass number is 35, calculate the following: number of protons, atomic number, and number of neutrons.
i think there would be: an atomic number of 17, there would be 17 protons, and there would be 18 neutrons.
am i correct???
correct
Plz what is its symbol😊
how many elecrons?
Yes, you are correct!
To determine the number of protons, you can use the atomic number of the atom, which is equal to the number of protons. In this case, since the atom has 17 electrons, the atomic number and the number of protons would also be 17.
To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number. In this case, the mass number is 35, so subtracting 17 (number of protons) from 35 gives you 18, which is the number of neutrons.
Therefore, the atom would have an atomic number of 17, 17 protons, and 18 neutrons.
