Chapter 19, Problem 17QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To interpret the number of proton of the given nuclide of Mg having mass number 24, 25 and 26 respectively along with number of neutron of the given nuclide of Mg having mass number 24, 25 and 26 respectively and write the symbol of each of the nuclides of Mg.

Concept Introduction:

The number of proton of the nuclide is equal to its atomic number and mass number is the sum of number of proton and neutron. The number of neutron is equal to the difference between the mass number to the number of proton. The elements having same atomic number and different mass number are known as isotopes.
