This atom would have 56 electrons.
Atomic Structure:
- In a neutral atom, the number of protons and number of electrons are same which is equal to the atomic number of an atom.
- The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
So, it is given that;
Number of protons=56
Number of neutrons=58
Thus, number of electrons=56 (since, the number of protons and number of electrons are same)
