Hello!
The atomic number is determined only by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. But, in a neutral atom it also represents the number of electrons in the electron cloud.
Neutrons are only important in the nucleus for helping us find atomic weight, which varies as we move along the perodic table and does not always equal the same amount of it's atomic number. Which is why it would not be a suitable answer for the first blank space. Electrons do not work either as they do not exist inside the nucleus but rather outside the atom.
The second space, since it states is in the electron cloud, we can deduct that electrons would be an appropriate answer there.
If you need anymore help feel free to ask, but I hope this answers your question.
Answer:
1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.
2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.
The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.
This are some of the transuranium elements:
Neptunio - 93
Plutonium - 94
Americium - 95
Curium - 96
Berkelium - 97
Californium - 98
Einstenium - 99
And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).
3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.
4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:
0
β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.
-1
5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:
239 239 0
Np → Pu + β
93 94 -1
As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.
