A metallic ion M 2 + has an electron configuration of 2, 8, 14 and its mass is 56 amu. The number of neutrons in the nucleus is
Options
- A24
- B30
- C32
- D56
Correct answer
B. 30
Step-by-step solution
As metal ion M 2 + has an electron configuration of 2, 8, 14 so The metallic atom (M) has a total number of electron = 2 + 8 + 14 + 2 = 26 . Therefore, the number of protons in the nucleus = 26. Hence, the number of neutrons = A - Z = 56 - 26 = 30 .
