Question

unknown element x has a mass number of 88 and contains 50 neutrons in the atom. element x is strontium

Answer 1

Strontium element has a mass number of 88 and contains 50 neutrons in the atom.

Given that;

Mass number of element X = 88

Number of Neutrons in element X = 50

we know the concept that Mass number is represent as total number of Neutrons and proton present in Nucleus

So, Mass number of element X = Number of Neutrons in element X + Number of Protons in element X

Thus, 88 = 50 + Number of Protons in element X

Number of Protons in element X = 38

As, Number of proton = Atomic number

So, Atomic number of element X = 38

Hence Unknown Element X is Strontium
