In science, there are notation and interpretations. Just like there is notation to denote the nucleus of an atom in terms of is mass number A and atomic number Z. A lot of information about the nucleus and the atom can be drawn from this. Consider an element AXZ. Based on this information, answer the question that follow. |
What is the charge on the nucleus? |
(A-Z)e Ae Ze -(A-Z)e |
Ze |
Charge inside the nucleus = No. of protons x charge on single proton = Z(+e) = Ze |
