Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that the mass number (A) of an isotope is the sum of the number of protons (atomic number, Z) and neutrons (N): \(A = Z + N\).
Identify the given values: mass number \(A = 193\) and number of neutrons \(N = 116\).
Rearrange the formula to solve for the atomic number (number of protons): \(Z = A - N\).
Substitute the known values into the equation: \(Z = 193 - 116\).
Calculate the difference to find the atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in the isotope.
