Q.26:- An atom of an element contains 29 electrons and 35 neutrons. Deduce (i) the number of protons and (ii) the electronic configuration of the element.
Answer:-
(i) For neutral atom, number of protons = number of electrons.
∴ Number of protons in the atom of the given element = 29 = Atomic number
(ii) The electronic configuration of the atom with Z=29 is 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d10
