Calculate the number of protons and neutrons for ²⁴Mg and 88Sr.

12 protons and 12 neutrons are present in Mg and

38 protons and 50 neutrons are present in Sr

Explanation:

For ²⁴Mg

1. Proton number = 12

2. Neutron number = 12

For ⁸⁸Sr:

1. Proton number = 38

2. Neutron number = 50

Explanation:

For ²⁴Mg:

1. Determination of the number of proton.

The atomic number of an element is simply defined as the number protons in the atom of the element. The atomic number of ²⁴Mg is 12 since no two elements have the same atomic number.

Atomic number = 12

Proton number = Atomic number

Proton number = 12

2. Determination of the Neutron number.

Mass number = 24

Proton number = 12

Neutron number =?

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

24 = 12 + Neutron

Collect like terms

Neutron = 24 – 12

Neutron number = 12

For ⁸⁸Sr:

1. Determination of the number of proton.

The atomic number of ⁸⁸Sr is 38.

Atomic number = 38

Proton number = Atomic number

Proton number = 38

2. Determination of the Neutron number.

Mass number = 88

Proton number = 38

Neutron number =?

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

88 = 38 + Neutron

Collect like terms

Neutron = 88 – 38

Neutron number = 50

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
