The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons
64 = #protons + #neutrons
Find the number of protons given the number of neutrons
64 = #protons + 33
#protons = 31
In a neutral element (such as this), the number of electrons equals the number of protons
#electrons = #protons
#electrons = 31

Answer:

The isotope must have 31 electrons

Explanation:

  • Mass number = (number of neutrons)+(number of protons)
  • Here, mass number of element is 64 and number of neutrons is 33
  • So, number of protons i the element = (mass number)-(number of neutrons) = (64)-(33) = 31
  • Isotope of an element remain present in neutral form.
  • So, number of protons should be equal to number of electrons in that isotope. Because proton has +1 charge and electron has -1 charge
  • So, the isotope must have 31 electrons.

NaCl and H2O.

The products are typically the elements/compounds on the right side of the equation or the right side of the arrow. The left side of the arrow would be the reactants of the equation.

Hope this helps!
