Options
- A( ₁₇³⁵ Cl )
- B( ₁₇³⁵ Cl ⁻ )
- C( ₁₇³⁶ Cl )
- D( ₁₇³⁶ Cl ⁻ )
Correct answer
B. ( ₁₇³⁵ Cl ⁻ )
Step-by-step solution
(p=17, e=18, n=18 ) means, (Z=17 ) element is chlorine, which contains one electron more ((17+1) ), so it is chloride ion, ( Cl ⁻ ). ( ) Symbol: ( ₁₇³⁵ Cl ⁻ ); Mass number, (A=n+p=18+17=35 ) Atomic number, (Z=17 )
