Question

What is the atomic number for an element with 6 neutrons and a mass number of 10

Answer 1

`\bold{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer}}}}`

`\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}`

• Atomic number of an element with 6 neutrons and a mass number of 10

`\bold{\underline{ Let's \:Begin}}`

`\sf{We\: know\: that, }`

• Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

`\sf{Whereas ,}`

• Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

`\sf{We\: have \:number \:of \:neutrons = 6 }`

`\sf{ Mass\: number = 10 }`

`\bold{\underline{Therefore}}`

`\sf{ Mass\: number = Protons + neutrons}`

`\sf{ 10 = Protons + 6 }`

`\sf{ Protons = 10 - 6}`

`\sf{ Protons = 4 }`

`\sf{ Thus, \: the \: number \: of \: protons \: is \:4}`

`\bold{\underline{ Therefore,\:we\:know\:that, }}`

`\sf{ No\: of\: protons = Atomic \:number }`

`\sf{ 4 = Atomic \:number }`

`\sf { Hence, \:atomic\: number\: of\: the\: element\: is\: 4}`
