Chapter 5 Problem 84UTC

Question

Identify each of the following atoms or ions: (5.1)a. 28 protons, 31 neutrons, and 26 electronsb. 82 protons, 126 neutrons, and 82 electronsc. 34 protons, 46 neutrons, and 36 electrons

Solution

Solution 84 UTC:Here, we are going to identify each of the following atoms or ions.Step 1: (a)The given atom containsNo of protons = 28No of electrons = 26No of neutrons = 31We know that, a neutral atom has similar number of protons and electrons.Thus, here the species have two electrons less than neutral atom.Therefore, the species is in ionic form (cation)Atomic number of the species = 28 = No of protonsMass number = protons + neutrons = 59The, neutral atom would be Nickel (Ni)Since it has two electrons shorter than the neutral Ni.Therefore, the ion would be Ni2+________________
