Calculate the atomic number of an element whose atomic nucleus has mass number 23 and neutron number 12. What is the symbol of this element?
We have given the mass number of atom and Mass number is given by the formula,
Mass no. = atomic number + no. of neutrons
∴
atomic number = mass no. - no. of neutrons = 23 - 12 = 11
The element is sodium (Na).
Explain with examples, (i) Atomic number, (ii) Mass number, (iii) Isotopes, and (iv) Isobars. Give any two uses of isotopes also.
Na+ has completely filled K and L-shells. Explain.
