Chapter 2: Problem 69

What is the symbol for an ion with 63 protons, 60 electrons, and 88 neutrons? If an ion contains 50 protons, 68 neutrons, and 48 electrons, what is its symbol?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The symbols for the ions are \(\mathrm{^{151}Eu^{3+}}\) for the ion with 63 protons, 60 electrons, and 88 neutrons, and \(\mathrm{^{118}Sn^{2+}}\) for the ion with 50 protons, 68 neutrons, and 48 electrons.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the element

Based on the number of protons (63), we can identify the element. In this case, 63 protons correspond to the element Europium (Eu).
02

Calculate the charge of the ion

To determine the charge of the ion, we need to find the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, the ion has 63 protons and 60 electrons, which results in a charge of +3 (since there are 3 more protons than electrons).
03

Determine the mass number

The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. In this case, there are 63 protons and 88 neutrons, which results in a mass number of 151.
04

Write the ion symbol

To write the ion symbol, use the element symbol (Eu), the mass number (151), and the charge (+3). The ion symbol is: \(\mathrm{^{151}Eu^{3+}}\). Question 2 - Ion with 50 protons, 68 neutrons, and 48 electrons.
05

Identify the element

Based on the number of protons (50), we can identify the element. In this case, 50 protons correspond to the element Tin (Sn).
06

Calculate the charge of the ion

To determine the charge of the ion, we need to find the difference between the number of protons and electrons. In this case, the ion has 50 protons and 48 electrons, which results in a charge of +2 (since there are 2 more protons than electrons).
07

Determine the mass number

The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. In this case, there are 50 protons and 68 neutrons, which results in a mass number of 118.
08

Write the ion symbol

To write the ion symbol, use the element symbol (Sn), the mass number (118), and the charge (+2). The ion symbol is: \(\mathrm{^{118}Sn^{2+}}\).
