Mercury electrons
1. Mercury-205 has how many protons, neutrons, electrons, and electrons in the 1st quantum shell?
For Mercury-205:
Atomic number (A) = 80
Mass number (Z) = 205
Number of protons = 80 (number of proton is same as the atomic number)
Number of neutrons = 125 (# of neutron = A - Z = 205 - 80 = 125)
Total number of electrons = 80 (same as number of proton for neutral species)
Note: Only electrons occupy quantum shells. Both protons and neutrons are confined in the nucleus.
When only the first quantum shell is considered, mercury has 2 electrons. Because, the 1st quantum shell has only 1 ...
Solution Summary
Mercury electrons, protons, and neutrons are examined.
