Question

An ion (M2+) contain 10 electrons and 12 neutrons
what is the atomic number and mass number of the element M

Anand Singh · Accepted Answer

Since, M2+ contains 10
electrons and the M2+ ion suggests that it has lost 2
electrons so it contains total 12 electrons The number of electrons
are equal to number of protons in an atom, so its atomic
number is 12
The no of protons and neurones is
known as mass number which is 24 (12 + 12 = 24 )

An ion (M2+) contain 10 electrons and 12 neutrons what is the atomic number and mass number of the element M.

An ion (M²⁺) contain 10 electrons and 12 neutrons what is the atomic number and mass number of the element M.
