Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The protons, neutrons, and electrons for each of the given element are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An atom consists of a nucleus and extranuclear space.
Atoms of an element can exist in more than one form. Each form is termed as an isotope and only the number of neutrons is different in each form while the number of protons and electrons is the same.
When an atom loses or gains an electron, it is termed as cation or anion, respectively. Cation bears a positive charge and contains more protons than electrons in it. Anion bears a negative charge contains fewer protons than electrons in it.
The number of electrons of an ion is calculated by subtracting the charge from the
Atomic number (Z) of an atom as well as an ion is equal to the number of protons, whereas mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. Atomic number is written as subscript and mass number is written as a superscript.
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from its mass number.

- Strontium-89 chloride is in a class of drugs known as radioisotopes. It delivers radiation to cancer sites and ultimately decreases bone pain. Recall that Beta(minus) decay is when a neutron spontaneously changes to a proton and emits an electron and an antineutrino. a) Write the beta decay formula that shows what Sr- 89 decays into. b) How many protons does Sr-89 have and how do you know? c) How many neutrons does Sr-89 have and how do you know? d) How many electrons does an electrically neutral atom of Sr-89 have?arrow_forwardWrite the nuclide notation, including charge if applicable, for atoms with the following characteristics: (a) 25 protons, 20 neutrons, 24 electrons. (b) 45 protons, 24 neutrons, 43 electrons. (c) 53 protons, 89 neutrons, 54 electrons. (d) 97 protons, 146 neutrons, 97 electronsarrow_forward2.86 For some uses, the relative abundance of isotopes must be manipulated. For example, a medical technique called boron neutron capture therapy needs a higher fraction of 10B than occurs naturally to achieve its best efficiency.
