The mass number of an anion, , is
. If there are ten electrons in the anion, the number of neutrons is the nucleus of its elemental form
will be
10
14
7
5
number of Neutrons + number of Protons = 14
number of electrons in = 10
number of electrons in = 7
Thus, number of protons in = number of electrons in
= 7
Thus, number of neutrons in X = 7
The elemental form contains 14 neutrons
