  • Question
  • An atom has 7 electrons in its M - shell and contains 18 neutrons in its nucleus. What is its mass number


  • Options
  • A. 25
  • B. 27
  • C. 35
  • D. 43

  • Correct Answer
  • 35 

    Explanation

    According to Bohr model, Each shell can occupy 2 n 2  electrons in their orbits where n=1,2,3.. for K,L,M,..

     

    The atom has 2 electrons in k, 8 electrons in L and 7 electrons in M = 2 + 8 + 7 = 17

     

    And given that its nucleus has 18 neutrons

     

    => its mass number = number of (electrons + neutrons ) = 17 + 18 = 35
