Find out atomic no., mass no., no. of electron and neutron in an element 20X40?
The correct representation of symbol is 20X40 .
Which means the atomic mass of X is 40 and atomic number of X is 20.
As atomic number of any element is equal to the number of protons present in it, therefore the number of protons = 20.
As in a neutral atom, number of electrons = number of protons, therefore the number of electron in element X is also 20.
Since, atomic mass is the sum of number of protons and neutrons,
Therefore,
Atomic mass = number of protons + number of neutrons
Number of protons = 20, atomic mass = 40
Hence, number of neutrons = 40 -20
= 20
Which means the atomic mass of X is 40 and atomic number of X is 20.
As atomic number of any element is equal to the number of protons present in it, therefore the number of protons = 20.
As in a neutral atom, number of electrons = number of protons, therefore the number of electron in element X is also 20.
Since, atomic mass is the sum of number of protons and neutrons,
Therefore,
Atomic mass = number of protons + number of neutrons
Number of protons = 20, atomic mass = 40
Hence, number of neutrons = 40 -20
= 20
