Question

do you expect to find an atom with 26 protons and mass number 52

Answer 1

Answer:

iron element with mass number of 52

Explanation:

Given that  

26 protons and mass number 52

Number of protons = number of electron= atomic number = 26

Atomic mass  = number of  protons + number of  neutrons = 52

number of  neutrons = Atomic mass  - number of  protons = 52-26= 26

atomic number 26 means element is iron

therefore this is a iron element with mass number of 52

Element:

An element is a simplest type of a pure substance which is composed of only one type of matter. For examples; silver, gold platinum etc.

Isotopes:

The atoms of an element with different mass number or atomic mass are called isotopes. They have same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.

Answer 2

No, I don't expect to find an atom with 26 protons and mass number of 52.

Given the following data:

• Number of protons = 26

• Mass number = 52

To find an atom with 26 protons and mass number of 52:

Mass number is also referred to as atomic mass number and it is the total number of protons and neutrons found in an atomic nucleus.

Mathematically, mass number is given by the formula:

$A = Z + N$

Where:

• A is the mass number.

• Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

• N is the number of neutrons.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$52 = 26 + N\\\\N = 52 - 26$

Number of neutrons, N = 26.

In conclusion, there isn't any atom with 26 protons, 26 neutrons and a mass number of 52.
