Question 97648: An atom has a mass number of 108. The number of neutrons is 1.25times the number of protons. How many protons are in the nucleus if mass number= neutrons+protons? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! An atom has a mass number of 108. The number of neutrons is 1.25times the number of protons. How many protons are in the nucleus if
mass number= neutrons + protons?
----------------------
108 = 1.25x + x
108 = 2.25x
x = 48 (number of protons)
1.25x = 60 (number of neitrons)
