Answer:
Atomic number of this isotope = 77
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass number = 193
No of neutrons = 116
We need to find the atomic no of this isotope.
We know that,
Atomic mass = No of protons + No. of neutrons
Also, atomic no = no of protons
So,
Atomic mass = atomic no + No. of neutrons
⇒ Atomic no = Atomic mass - no of neutrons
Atomic no = 193 - 116
Atomic no = 77
Hence, 77 is the atomic no of the isotope.
