Electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom of an element are called valence electrons.
3Li is an s-block element and its electronic configuration is 1s22s1. Since it has one...
Nuclides with even number of protons (Z) and even number of neutrons (N) are most stable.
These nuclides tend to form proton-proton and neutron-neutron pairs.
This impart stability to the nucleus.
The nuclides with odd number of both protons and neutrons are the least stable because, odd number of protons and neutrons results in the presence of two unpaired nucleons.
These unpaired...
For the given nuclide,
Atomic number, Z = 18,
Mass number, A = 40
Number of protons = Number of electrons = Z = 18
Number of neutrons (N) = A – Z = 40...
Correct Option is : (C) 18, 15, 16
Atomic Number = Number of Protons
Mass Number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons
Number of Electron = Atomic Number -(Number of Charges)
Therefore,
Number of...
