What’s the molar mass of Lead-208
Degger [83]
Lead is a basic metal and almost 11 isotopes of Lead are reported. The isotopes with greater natural abundance are as follow;

1) ²⁰⁸Pb with abundance 52.4 %

2) ²⁰⁶Pb with abundance 24.1 %

3) ²⁰⁷Pb with abundance 22.1 %

4) ²⁰⁴Pb with abundance 1.4 %

Molar mass of ²⁰⁸Pb:

Molar mass of any element is the total of number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
As, number of protons in Lead are 82 then in ²⁰⁸Pb isotope number of neutrons are...

# of Neutrons  =  M.mass - # of protons

# of Neutrons  =  208 - 82

# of Neutrons  =  126

Result:

Molecular Mass of Lead (²⁰⁸Pb) is 208 amu.

# of Protons in ²⁰⁸Pb  = 82

# of Neutrons in ²⁰⁸Pb = 126

How many protons (p) and neutrons (n) are in an atom of sr? 38 p, 90 n 90 p, 38 n 38 p, 52 n 52 p, 38 n?
harina [27]
Sr will always have 38 protons because that is its atomic number. Normally Sr has 38 protons and 49 neutrons yielding an atomic mass of 87. unless you are dealing with an isotope of Strontium in which 3 additional neutrons would give you the 53 neutrons in your answer, (38p, 52n).
