Identify the atomic number of bromine (Br) from the periodic table, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of any bromine atom.
Recall that the atomic number of bromine is 35, so every bromine isotope has 35 protons.
Understand that the isotope number (mass number) is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, given here as 81 for Br-81.
Calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number: \(\text{neutrons} = 81 - 35\).
Use this information to verify which statement correctly matches 35 protons and the calculated number of neutrons for Br-81.
