Q. If Z n 2 + has an atomic number of 34 and a mass number of 65, the correct number of protons, neutrons, and electrons are i, ii and iii,

Dear Student,


Atomic number of Zn = 34Atomic number = No. of electrons=No. of protons=34and, Mass number = Number of neutrons+No. of protonsand, 65=No. of neutrons+34or, No. of neutrons = 65-34=31However, the ion is Zn2+ which is deficient of 2 electronsSo, Total number of electrons = 34-2=32So, No. of protons=34No. of neutrons=31No. of electrons =32
