Write the atomic symbol
- Z=26,A=54
- the isotope of iron with 30 neutrons
- number of protons = 26, number of neutrons = 31
- the isotope of nitrogen with 7 neutrons
- Z=7,A=15
atomic number 7, number of neutrons = 8
(a)
Interpretation:
Write the atomic symbol (
Concept Introduction:
The atomic symbol notation is as follows:
Here A = mass number which is equal to the total number of protons + number of neutrons, Z = atomic number of any element which is also indicates Number of protons or number of electrons in the given atom.
Answer to Problem 38QAP
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Calculation:
Z = atomic number of any element = Number of protons or number of electron in the given atom
Atomic number = 26 which represent the element iron, Fe
A = mass number which is equal to the total number of protons + number of neutrons = 54
Therefore, The atomic symbol (
(b)
Interpretation:
Write the atomic symbol of isotope of iron which has 30 neutrons.

Answer to Problem 38QAP
The atomic symbol (
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Number of neutrons of nitrogen = 7
Calculation:
Z = atomic number of any element = Number of protons or number of electron in the given atom
Atomic number = 7 for nitrogen
A = mass number which is equal to the total number of protons + number of neutrons
= 7+7=14
Therefore, the atomic symbol (
