Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that the atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms.
Recall that each element on the periodic table is uniquely identified by its atomic number, not by its atomic mass or symbol alone.
Look up the element with atomic number 80 on the periodic table, which corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus.
Identify the element symbol and name associated with atomic number 80; this element is Mercury, symbolized as Hg.
Confirm that the other options (Lead, Gold, Platinum) have different atomic numbers: Lead (82), Gold (79), and Platinum (78), so they do not match atomic number 80.
