Description : The umber of neutrons present in an element having mass number 226 and atomic number 88 is– (1) 88 (2) 138 (3) 314 (4) 50
Last Answer : (2) 138 Explanation: The mass number is a count of the number of particles in an atom's nucleus which is made up of protons and neutrons. In other words, Mass Number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons. ... of an element, 226 = 88 + number of Neutrons. So, the number of neutrons= 226 - 88= 138.
