Question

What element has 80 protons, 81 neutrons, 79 electrons?

Answer 1

The element will be
`^(161)_(80)X`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Number of proton = 80

Number of neutron = 81

Number of electron = 79

We know that,

The atomic number is equal to the number of proton.

So, the atomic number is 80.

According to atomic number,

The element will be mercury.

We need to calculate the atomic mass

Using formula of atomic mass

`atomic\ mass=atomic\ number+number\ of\ neutron`

Put the value into the formula

`atomic\ mass=80+81`

`atomic\ mass=161`

We need to find the element

Using atomic mass and atomic number

`atomic\ mass\ number A=161`

`atomic\ number Z=80`

So, the element will be

`^(A)_(Z)X`

Put the value of A and Z

Hence, The element will be
`^(161)_(80)X`
