An ion of platinum has a mass number of 195 and contains 74 electrons. How many protons and neutrons does it contain and what is it’s charge ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of protons present in the platinum ion is 78.

The number of neutrons present in the platinum ion is (195-78)=117.

The charge present on the ion is (78-74)= +4.

Step by step solution

01

Find the atomic number of Pt

The atomic number of Pt is 78. As atomic number = number of protons, therefore, number of protons = 78

02

Calculate the number of neutrons

We know that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

195 = 78 + number of neutrons

Number of neutrons= 195-78= 117

03

Calculate charge

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons = the number of protons

However, since it is an ion, the charge will be 78-74= +4

Therefore, it has a +4 charge.

Open theBuild an Atom simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PhetAtomBld)(a) Drag protons, neutrons, and electrons onto the atom template to make a neutral atom of Oxygen-16 and give theisotope symbol for this atom.(b) Now add two more electrons to make an ion and give the symbol for the ion you have created.

The average atomic masses of some elements may vary, depending upon the sources of their ores. Naturally occurring, the boron consists of two isotopes with accurately known masses ( 10B, 10.0129 amu and 11B, 11.0931 amu). The actual atomic mass of boron can vary from 10.807 to 10.819, depending on whether the mineral source is from Turkey or the United States. Calculate the percent abundance leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.
