An atom of sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons,and 12 neutrons, what is its atomic number and mass number?

1 answer:

3 0

Example: A sodium atom contains 11 protons, so its atomic number is 11. Mass number is the total of the protons and neutrons together, and it is given the symbol A. Example: A sodium atom contains 11 protons and 12 neutrons; its mass number A is 23<span>.</span>

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 69ga with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and 71ga. use th

Nataly [62]

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium: mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

$69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})$
