<u>Answer;</u>

53 protons

73 neutrons

The mass number of iodine is 126, and it’s in the 53rd place in the periodic table. It has <u>73 </u>protons and<u> 53</u> neutrons.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The mass number of an element is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of the element.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, the mass number of Iodine is 126, which means the sum of its protons and neutrons is 126.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Atomic number of an atom on the other hand is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic number of Iodine is 53 , which means its nucleus has 53 protons.</u></em>
  • Thus, <em><u>to get the number of neutrons we subtract the atomic number from the mass number, which will be 73 neutrons.</u></em>

List the sequence of events involved in the alternation of generations in land plants
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>The sequence of alternation of generation is; gametes->zygote->sporophyte->spores->gametophyte->gametes. The attached diagram shows clearly this looped cycle. Alternation of generation occurs in a more advanced land plant that has distinct haploid and diploid phases in their life cycle. The diploid phase usually involves the sporophyte while the haploid phase involves the gametophyte</span>
