Question

Un isótopo de un elemento metálico tiene un número de masa de 65 y tiene 35 neutrones en su núcleo. El catión derivado de dicho isótopo tiene 28 electrones. Identifique el elemento, y la carga correspondiente del ión.

Answer 1

According to Data,
Mass Number = 65

# of Neutrons = 35

As we know,
Mass Number = # of protons + # of Neutrons
Solving for # of protons,
# of protons = Mass Number - # of Neutrons
Putting values,
# of Protons = 65 -35

# of protons = 30
As,
# of protons is the atomic number, so element with atomic number 30 is Zinc.

The cation derived from it has 28 electrons,
So, Zinc having 30 electron will be left with two extra protons, and each proton has +1 charge.

Result:
Zn²⁺
