Question

using the equation above for a nuclear reaction, supply the following answer: there are 96 or 242 or 146 curium neutrons. I need help plzz​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number of Cm neutrons = 242 - 96 = 146

Answer 2

The number of neutrons for curium is 146.

• To determine the number of neutrons in an element: Subtract the atomic number from the mass number of the element.

• Mass number is represented as (A) and atomic number is represented as (Z) and neutrons are represented as (N).

We need to find neutrons for curium:

$^{242}Cm_{96}$

Atomic number (Z)=96

Mass number(A) =242

Number of neutrons= A-Z= 242-96=146

Hence, the number of neutrons for curium is 146.
