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.
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

Thankuu
It is quite interesting that sir was today providing the facility for the cell studying student to get the solutions of their questions
How did u get x = 18
