Question

a group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! how exciting! upon further testing by scientists (with better equipment),it is found that the element contains 74 protons and 110 neutrons.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the experiment:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

Number of protons in an element is the atomic number of the element. It is used to locate and position and element on the periodic table.

For a neutral or uncharged atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons.

The element whose number of protons or atomic number if 74 is Tungsten

Mass number = 74 + 110 = 184g/mol
