A. 55
B. 30
C. 25​

QUESTION:- Manganese-55 has neutrons.

OPTIONS :-

A. 55

B. 30

C. 25

ANSWER:- NUMBER OF NEUTRONS IS EQUAL TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MASS IF THE ATOM AND ATOMIC NUMBER

SO DIFFERENCE IS EQUAL TO :- 55-25 = 30 NEUTRONS.

SO THERE IS 30 NEUTRONS IN SINGLE ATOM OF THE MANGANESE-55 ATOM.

the mass of an atom is the sum of proton and neutron which are both concentrated in nocleus of an atom. from the question the mass is given as 55 and the proton is 25.

since electrons are negative the answer is neagtaive
