Which choice correctly describes the subatomic particles in the isotope 45ca?

a. 20 protons, 20 electrons, 25 neutrons

b. 25 protons, 20 electrons, 24 neutrons

c. 20 protons, 20 electrons, 24 neutrons

d. 20 protons, 24 electrons, 20 neutrons

i think its a. correct me if i am wrong. you.

in the isotope Calcium-45, contains 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 25 neutrons are present.

Isotope:

it is an alternate form of an element (atom) that have same number of proton but different number of neutron.

Or an isotope have same atomic number but different atomic mass.

For Example-

₄₅Ca  (Calcium-45) is an isotope of calcium.

Atomic number or number of proton = 20

Number of neutrons - 25

Atomic mass = 45

Therefore, in the isotope Calcium-45, contains 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 25 neutrons are present.

The answer to your question is: Letter A is the correct one

Explanation:

₄₅Ca   =   protons = 20;  neutrons = 25; electrons = 20

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

6

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
