Thus,thenumberofprotonsis4

Answer 2

$\bold{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

• Atomic number of an element with 6 neutrons and a mass number of 10

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \:Begin}}$

$\sf{We\: know\: that, }$

• Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

$\sf{Whereas ,}$

• Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

$\sf{We\: have \:number \:of \:neutrons = 6 }$

$\sf{ Mass\: number = 10 }$

$\bold{\underline{Therefore}}$

$\sf{ Mass\: number = Protons + neutrons}$

$\sf{ 10 = Protons + 6 }$

$\sf{ Protons = 10 - 6}$

$\sf{ Protons = 4 }$

$\sf{ Thus, \: the \: number \: of \: protons \: is \:4}$

$\bold{\underline{ Therefore,\:we\:know\:that, }}$

$\sf{ No\: of\: protons = Atomic \:number }$

$\sf{ 4 = Atomic \:number }$

$\sf { Hence, \:atomic\: number\: of\: the\: element\: is\: 4}$
