Practicing Success
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 no. of neutrons? |
A A-Z A+Z Z |
A-Z |
Mass no. = No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons Atomic No. = No. of Protons A = Z + No. of Neutrons |
