<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons that are present in an atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Atomic number = Number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.  It is represented as A.

A = Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For the given options:

  • <u>Option A:</u> Fluorine

Atomic number = 9

Mass number = 19

Number of neutrons = 19 - 9 = 10

Thus, the number of neutrons are not represented correctly.

  • <u>Option B:</u> Arsenic

Atomic number = 33

Mass number = 75

Number of neutrons = 75 - 33 = 42

Thus, the number of neutrons are not represented correctly.

  • <u>Option C:</u> Magnesium

Atomic number = 12

Mass number = 24

Number of neutrons = 24 - 12 = 12

Thus, the number of neutrons are not represented correctly.

  • <u>Option D:</u> Uranium

Atomic number = 92

Mass number = 238

Number of neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146

Thus, the number of neutrons are represented correctly.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

Is it true that an atom has 3 subatomic particles with a negative nucleus and the neutrons outside the the nucleus
Nostrana [21]

Answer: atoms do have 3 subatomic particles but the nucleus is positive and the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Its positive because neutrons have no charge and protons have a positive charge. There are only electrons on the shells so no neutrons or protons on the shells
