      Question

      An atom has 7 electrons in its M-shell and contains 18

      neutrons in its nucleus. What is its mass number?
      A 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 37 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The atom has 2 electrons in K, 8 electrons in L and 7 electrons in M = 2 + 8 + 7 = 17 and nucleus has 18 neutrons, so its mass number = (number of electrons + neutrons) = 17 + 18 = 35.
