What is the sum of the numbers of neutrons and electrons in the ion 208po enter the value in the box as a whole number.

Explanation:

Hello,

Polonium has the atomic number 83, thus, it has 83 protons and electrons; in such a way, the amount of neutrons is given by the subtraction:

Now, the addition between the neutrons and electrons is the same atomic mass considering the previous formula, thus:

So this procedure could be avoided by just looking at the given information "208Po" which contains the result.

Best regards.

po-215 i got it right on the quiz

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
