Answer:
The number of neutron in the Aluminium Isotope is :
B. 14
Explanation:
Isotopes : These are the atoms which have same atomic number but have different mass number.
<u>This image shows the average atomic mass of Al element because it is in decimals</u>.
Atomic mass = 26.98154
(Note : mass number of single isotope can never be in decimals)
It is the average of mass of different isotopes of Al
Major Isotopes of are :
......atomic mass = 26
.......atomic mass = 27
mass of Al given in image(26.98) is nearly equal to mass of 2nd isotope(27)
mass of
Now calculate the neutron in
Number of neutron = mass number - atomic number
= 27 - 13
Number of neutron = 14
(Atomic mass is same as mass number)
