The ion of an element has 3 positive charges. Mass number of the atom is 27 and the number of neutrons is 14. What is the number of electrons in the ion?- 13
- 10
- 14
- 16
Correct Answer: (b) 10
Explanation: Mass number of the element = 27
Number of neutrons = 14
Number of protons = mass number – number of neutrons
= 27 – 14 = 13
As the ion of this element has 3 positive charges, it means that it has lost 3 electrons. Therefore, there are 10 electrons in the ion.
