Question

Fill in the missing information:

1. Complete Nuclear Symbol ________
2. Atomic # ________
3. Mass number ________
# Protons 22
# Electrons 18
# Neutrons 26
4. Charge _________

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Complete Nuclear Symbol : $_{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}$

2. Atomic number : 22

3. Mass number : 48  

4. Charge : 4 +

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Mass number is the sum of number of neelectrons. utrons and number of protons.

Given : no of protons = 22 , thus atomic number = 22

Mass number =  number of neutrons + number of protons

Mass number =  26 + 22 = 48

Also for a neutral atom , the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. But here electrons are 4 less than protons, which means the atom has lost 4 electrons and thus will have a charge of 4+.

The atomic number is specific to an element, and the element with atomic number 22 is Titanium (Ti). The representation is $_{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}$
