Answer: The number of neutrons in osmium is 114.

Explanation:

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

Atomic number = Number of protons

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

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

We know that:

Atomic number of osmium = 76

Mass number of osmium = 190

Number of neutrons = 190 - 76 = 114

Hence, the number of neutrons in osmium is 114.

Atomic Particles
Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

Hydrogen (H) and helium (He) are produced in the core of stars in a process called nuclear fusion. Over time stars begin to prod

rosijanka [135]

A C and D are all correct, Helium and Hydrogen only have a 1s orbital, and helium has 2 protons, while hydrogen has 1, and finally Hydrogen has no neutrons while helium has 2. Helium does not however have 8 valence electrons as the 1s orbital can only hold 2, meaning B is the “correct” (false) answer.
