An element with mass number 181 contains 32 % more neutrons as compared to protons. What is the symbol of that element?
Options
- APt
- BPd
- CAu
- DHg
Correct answer
A. Pt
Step-by-step solution
Let a be the number of protons in an element. The number of neutrons is a + 0 . 32 a = 1 . 32 a   As the mass number is 181 . It is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. 181 = a   +   1 . 32 a a = 78 Which is equal to atomic number of Pt .
