Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions | How many neutrons and protons are there

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 3: how many neutrons and protons are there in the fol....
Question 3

How many neutrons and protons are there in the following nuclei?

Answer

We know atomic number(z) = no of protons = no of electrons

Also mass number(A) = no of protons + no of neutrons

136C:

Here mass number = 13

Atomic number = Number of protons = 6

Number of neutrons = (mass number) – (Atomic number)

= 13 – 6 = 7

 

:

Here mass number = 16

Atomic number = 8 Number of protons = 8 Number of neutrons = (mass number) – (Atomic number)

= 16 – 8 = 8

 

:

Here Mass number = 24

Atomic number = Number of protons = 12

Number of neutrons = (mass number) – (Atomic number)

= 24 – 12 = 12

 

:

Here mass number = 56

Atomic number = Number of protons = 26

Number of neutrons = (mass number ) – (Atomic number)

= 56 – 26 = 30

 

:

Here mass number = 88

Atomic number = Number of protons = 38

Number of neutrons = (mass number) – (Atomic number)

= 88 – 38 = 50
