An atom with a charge of +1 has an atomic number of 6 and a mass number of 14.How many neutrons does it have?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atomic number (Z) = number of protons = 6
Charge on the atom = +1

Number of protons = Number of electrons + Charge on the atom
6 = Number of electrons + 1
Number of electrons = 5

Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons
14 = 6 + number of neutrons
Number of neutrons = 8
