An ion with mass number 37 possesses one | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Structure of Atom, Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions

Question:

An ion with mass number 37 possesses one unit of negative charge. If the ion contains 11.1% more neutrons than the electrons, find the symbol of the ion.

Answer:

Let the number of electrons in the ion carrying a negative charge be x.

Then,

Number of neutrons present

= x + 11.1% of x

= x + 0.111 x

= 1.111 x

Number of electrons in the neutral atom = (x – 1)

(When an ion carries a negative charge, it carries an extra electron)

∴ Number of protons in the neutral atom = x – 1

Therefore 37 = 1.111x + x -1

Or 2.111 x = 38

Or x = 18

Therefore no of protons = atomic no = x -1 = 18 – 1 = 17

∴The symbol of the ion is
