Question

Which is the correct symbol for an isotope of bromine with 35 protons and 38 neutrons?

Answer 1

Answer:An atomic nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons. Although protons repel each other, the nucleus is held tightly together by a short-range, but very strong, force called the strong nuclear force.

Answer 2

73/35 Br

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbol for a bromine isotope with 35 protons and 38 neutrons corresponds to the acronym used to represent bromine, with the atonic number on the left side of this circle in the upper corner and the mass number on the left side of this acronym in the lower corner.

The number is the number of protons, in this case the atomic number is 35. The number of the mass is the sum between the number of protons and the number of neutrons, which in this case is 35 + 38 = 73. The acronym that corresponds to bromine is "Br".

With that, we can conclude that the correct symbol would be 73/35 Br
