Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions | An element with mass number 81 contains

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 42: an element with mass number 81 contains 31 7 more....
Question 42

An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons. Assign the atomic symbol.

Answer

Mass number = 81 i.e p + n = 81

Let us suppose number of protons = x and neutrons

= x+31.7Xx /100 = 1.317x

Therefore x + 1.317x = 81

Or

2.317x = 81

Or x = 81/2.317 = 35 T

hus number of protons = 35 ,i.e atomic number = 35

Hence the symbol is 8135 Br
