For fe, its atomic number is 26 and its mass number is 56. how many neutrons does it have? a.26 b.30 c.56 d.82

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 30

Explanation :

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number : It is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Mass number = Number of protons  + Number of neutrons

As we are given that,

Atomic number = 26

Mass number = 56

As we know that:

Atomic number = Number of protons = 26

Mass number = Number of protons  + Number of neutrons

or,

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

Number of neutrons = 56 - 26

Number of neutrons = 30

Thus, the number of neutrons in Fe are, 30

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
