Question

Based on the information that is given, which atom in the table has the highest mass?

Answer 1

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Atom Number of protons Number of electrons Number of neutrons

1 39 39 52

2 40 40 50

3 39 39 54

4 40 40 51

Based on the information that is given, which atom in the table has the highest mass?

a. 1

b. 2

c. 3

d. 4

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The relative atomic mass is given as; number of protons + number of neutrons. If we take the relative atomic mass of each of the options;

1) 39 +52 = 91

2) 40+50 = 90

3) 39 + 54 = 93

4) 40 + 51 = 91

Thus 3 has the highest mass as seen above, hence the answer given.
