Find out the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in the nuclide�

1.	Find out the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in the nuclide \(_{18}^{40}Ar\).
Answer» For the given nuclide, Atomic number, Z = 18, Mass number, A = 40 Number of protons = Number of electrons = Z = 18 Number of neutrons (N) = A – Z = 40 – 18 = 22 Number of protons = 18, Number of electrons = 18, Number of neutrons = 22

Find out the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in the nuclide \(_{18}^{40}Ar\).

Answer»

For the given nuclide,

Atomic number, Z = 18,

Mass number, A = 40

Number of protons = Number of electrons = Z = 18

Number of neutrons (N) = A – Z = 40 – 18 = 22

Number of protons = 18,

Number of electrons = 18,

Number of neutrons = 22
