Question

please please help me i’m so confused! i will give brainleiest answer
{calcium nuclear charge 20+}
{calcium atomic mass 40amu}
1) determine the number of charged particles in the nucleus of calcium atom then deduce the number of electrons
{given the relative charge of a proton =1+\m 1 nucleon = 1amu}
2) determine its mass number A
3) determine the competition of this calcium atom ​

Answer 1

Answer:

PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST!!

Explanation:

Calcium has an atomic number of 20 and an atomic mass of 40

The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. The atomic number is the number of protons. The calcium-40 isotope has a mass number of 40 , and an atomic number of 20 , therefore it has 20 protons.
