Question
In 88Ra226 nucleus there are :
Options
A.226 protons and 88 electrons
B.138 protons and 88 neutrons
C.226 neutrons and 138 electrons
D.138 neutrons and 88 protons
Solution
88Ra226
Number of protons = 88
Number of neutrons = 226 - 88 = 138
Number of protons = 88
Number of neutrons = 226 - 88 = 138
