Answer:
Atoms of tellurium (Te) have the greatest average number of neutrons equal to 76.
Explanation:
In the periodic table, Elements are represented with their respected symbols. Above the symbol is the elements atomic number which is equal to the number of protons in each atom. Below the symbol is the mass number of that element which is roughly equal to the sum of neutrons and protons of that atom.
To calculate the number of neutrons we can take the difference of Atomic number and mass number:
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
<u>- Tin:</u>
Atomic number = 50
Mass number = 119
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 119 - 50
Number of neutrons = 69
<u>- Antimony(Sb):</u>
Atomic number = 51
Mass number = 122
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 122 - 51
Number of neutrons = 71
<u>- Tellurium(Te):</u>
Atomic number = 52
Mass number = 128
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 128 - 52
Number of neutrons = <u>76</u>
<u>- Iodine(I):</u>
Atomic number = 53
Mass number = 127
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 127 - 53
Number of neutrons = 74
Here, the greatest number of neutrons is for the atoms of Tellurium(Te).
We have that the most stable nuclei are the ones with the highest average binding energy. We see that Nitrogen has a mass number of 15 and that in this region of the graph average binding energy is low. Silver and Gold are along a line where there is a constant decline in average binding energy; silver has more than gold. However, we see that at the start of this decline, there is Fe 56. This region has the elements with the highest average binding energy; Nickel with a mass number of 58 is right there and thus it is the most stable nucleus out of the listed ones.
