A neutral isotope has 49 neutrons and 36 electrons. Identify the element symbol of this isotope and determine the mass number and number of protons.

Answer 1

Kailee

36 electrons so 36 protons (as isotope is electrically neutral).

mass number = neutrons + protons = 85

to find element, find the element in the periodic table with atomic number 36 (number of protons)
