Answer to Problem 94A
The number of electrons in the neutral atom is 12.
Explanation of Solution
The number of protons and the number of electron are equal in a neutral atom.
For any element -
The given number of protons is 12 so the number of electron is 12, and the atom is electrical neutral in nature.
The number of electron is 12 in neutral atom. The element contains the number of protons which in turn is equal to same number of electron.
