Question

With the help of Table 4.1, find out the mass number of oxygen and sulphur atom.

Answer

1. Oxygen:

  • Number of Protons = 8

  • Number of Neutrons = 8

  • Mass Number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons = 8 + 8 = 16 u

2. Sulphur:

  • Number of Protons = 16

  • Number of Neutrons = 16

  • Mass Number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons = 16 + 16 = 32 u
