Answer: 97
Explanation:
The element Ru is <u>Ruthenium</u> which has <u>44 protons</u>.
In this case, our atom is an isotope with <u>53 neutrons</u>.
With this information, we can use the mass number formula to find this atom's mass number.
mass number = protons + neutrons
mass number = <u>44 protons</u> + <u>53 neutrons</u>
mass number = <u>97</u>
Is it the dry lab/wet lab week 1 or ?
C. The mass number is the amount of Protons and electrons there are combined, so 200 - 80 is 120.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged according to increasing <span>atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons present for a specific atom.</span>
