b. 42/20Ca, 44/20 Ca
c. 78/34Se, 80/34Se

Answer :

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

a. 6/3Li, 7/3Li

                   Protons                  Neutrons              Electrons

  ⁶₃ Li              3                                3                           3

 ⁷₃ Li               3                                4                           3

b. 42/20Ca, 44/20 Ca

  ⁴² ₂₀ Ca      20                              22                        20

 ⁴⁴ ₂₀ Ca       20                              24                        20

c. 78/34Se, 80/34Se

  ⁷⁸₃₄Se        34                               44                        34

 ⁸⁰₃₄Se         34                               46                        34

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in each pair of isotopes is as follows on the basis of their atomic mass and the atomic number:

=> For option A.) - 6/3Li, 7/3Li

Lithium-6:

  • The atomic mass is 6 and the atomic number is 3 which means the number of protons is 3 and the number of neutrons is 3 and as it has no charge then, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons that is 3
  • 3 protons, 3 electrons, and 3 neutrons.

Lithium 7:  

  • The atomic mass is 7 and the atomic number is 3 which means the number of protons is 3 and the number of neutrons is 4 and as it has no charge then, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons that is 3.
  • 3 protons, 3 electrons, and 4 neutrons.

On the same logic, we can get the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in each pair of isotopes

=> For option B.) 42/20Ca, 44/20 Ca

Calcium-42:

  • 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 22 neutrons.

Calcium-44:

  • 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 24 neutrons.

=> For option C.) 78/34Se, 80/34Se

Selenium-78:

  • 34 electrons, 34 electrons, and 44 neutrons.

Selenium-80:

  • 34 protons, 34 electrons, and 46 neutrons.
