Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the atomic number (Z) of bromine (Br), which is the number of protons in the atom. For bromine, Z = 35.
Note the mass number (A) given in the problem, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Here, A = 80.
Recall the relationship between mass number, protons, and neutrons: \(A = Z + N\), where \(N\) is the number of neutrons.
Rearrange the formula to solve for the number of neutrons: \(N = A - Z\).
Substitute the known values into the equation: \(N = 80 - 35\), which will give the number of neutrons in the bromine atom.
