Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of silicon for which a=29? enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e. g., 42he).

The mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron present in a nucleus of an atom. For the neutral atom the number of positive charge (number of proton) must be equal to the number of electrons. The number of electrons present in an atom is the atomic number of the atom. The standard way to express the mass number (a) and atomic number (m) of a atom (say X) is . Now for silicon number of electron or atomic number is 14. And the mass number (a) given 29. Thus the expression nucleus of silicon will be
