An element with mass number 81 contains | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Structure of Atom, Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions

Question:

An element with mass number 81 contains 31.7% more neutrons as compared to protons. Assign the atomic symbol.

Answer:

Mass number = 81 i.e p + n = 81

Let us suppose number of protons = x and neutrons

= x+31.7Xx /100 = 1.317x

Therefore x + 1.317x = 81

Or

2.317x = 81

Or x = 81/2.317 = 35 T

hus number of protons = 35 ,i.e atomic number = 35

Hence the symbol is 8135 Br
