A monoatomic anion (A-) has 45 neutrons and 36 electrons. Atomic mass, group in the periodic table and physical state at room temperature of the element (A) respectively are

  1. 80, 17, liquid
  2. 81, 16, solid
  3. 80, 16, gas
  4. 81, 15, gas

Answer

(1) 80, 17, liquid

Solution

A- has 36 electrons ⇒ neutral atom A has 36 − 1 = 35 electrons

⇒ Z = 35 ⇒ A is bromine, [Ar]3d104s24p5, a halogen of group 17.

Mass number (atomic mass) = protons + neutrons = 35 + 45 = 80

Bromine is the only non-metal that is a liquid at room temperature.

∴ 80, 17, liquid

Answer: (1)
