A neutral atom has the atomic number of 10 and the atomic mass is 22 amu. what is the number of neutrons and electrons for this

Leviafan [203]

Hey there!

This atom has 10 protons.

If this atom has an atomic mass of 22, that means the sum of protons and neutrons is 22.

p + n = 22

p = 10

Which makes this true:

10 + n = 22

Subtract 10 from each side to solve for n, the number of neutrons.

n = 12

An atom that has the atomic number of 10 and an atomic mass of 22 has 12 neutrons.

Hope this helps!

A mixture can be classified as a solution, suspension or colloid based on the SIZE OF ITS LARGEST PARTICLES.
A solution is made up of small particles that can not be seen with the naked eyes. The particles of of a suspension are larger and can be seen with the naked eyes. The particle size of the colloid is not as small as that of a solution and not as big as that of a suspension.
