The number of electrons, protons and neutrons in a species are equal to 18, 16 and 16 respectively. Assign the proper symbol to the species.
Calculate the number of neutrons in dipositive zinc ion (Zn2+, the mass number being 70).
No. of neutrons
= Mass number - Atomic number
Atomic mass of zinc is 70 g
Atomic number of Zinc is 30. Thus, number of neutrons will be,
No. of neutrons = 70 - 30 = 40
