The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in 175 71Lu, respectively, are :
- 104, 71 and 71
- 71, 71 and 104
- 175, 104 and 71
- 71, 104 and 71
Answer
(4) 71, 104 and 71
Solution
For the neutral atom: Z = 71, A = 175
Number of protons = Z = 71
Number of electrons = Z = 71
Number of neutrons = A − Z = 175 − 71 = 104
