By 'y' I hope your talking about Yttrium and not a variable. The atomic number is 39, so the number of protons is 39. Always remember that the atomic number is the same as the number of protons.

Atom X has 9 protons 10 neutrons and 9 electrons Atom Y has 9 protons 9 neutrons and 9 electrons what best describes how Atom X and Atom Y are related?

Atom X and Atom Y are isotopes of the same element, as they have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. This difference in neutrons results in different atomic masses for each atom while they both belong to the same element.


What atoms has 39 protons?

The atomic number of an element tells us that atom's number of protons. If the atom is neutral, its number of protons is going to equal its number of electrons. Thus, we need only find the element with the atomic number of 39, which is yttrium.


How many protons electrons and neutrons are in an atom of Y?

Yttrium atom number 39 = 39 protons.There are two isotopes:stable isotope Y89 , with relative atomic mass 89, thus (89-39) = 50 neutronsunstable isotope Y88 , with relative atomic mass 88, thus (88-39) = 49 neutrons(remember p+n=m)


How many unpaired electrons the atom Y has?

An atom of yttrium (Y) has an electron configuration of 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,4s2,3d1, so it has one unpaired electron in the 'd' orbital.


The particle of an atom with a positive charge?

Protons are positive.Then you have the neutrons, which are neutral, and the negative electrons that cancel out the positive charge of the protons.Hope this helps (Y)


What has 17 protons and 20 neutrons?

An atom with 17 protons and 20 neutrons would be chlorine-37, which has a total atomic mass of 37 (17 protons + 20 neutrons).


What is the charge of an ion having Y protons and Y electrons?

It has zero charge.


What transition metal has 39 protons?

The transition metal with 39 protons is Yttrium (Y), which has chemical symbol Y and atomic number 39.


Is Yttirum an element?

Yes, Yttrium is an element as it has only one type of atom in it: Yttrium atoms. Yttrium (Y) has 39 electrons in total in one atom and, if it is a neutral atom, 39 protons. Yttrium is one of three elements named after an important scientific area of dicovery: Ytter.


Select all the characteristics that will probably yield an ionic bond. Each answer refers to two atoms Atom X and Atom Y. Atom X is referred to first and Atom Y is referred to second.?

Ionic bonds typically form between atoms with significantly different electronegativities, usually involving a metal (like Atom X) and a nonmetal (like Atom Y). Atom X should have a low electronegativity and a tendency to lose electrons, while Atom Y should have a high electronegativity and a tendency to gain electrons. Additionally, the size difference between the two atoms, where Atom X is larger and Atom Y is smaller, can facilitate the transfer of electrons, resulting in ionic character.


How many electrons are in the element with the symbol Y?

Yttrium (Y) has, for the most part, 39 electrons. In its ion (atom with a charge that has lost or gained electrons) form though, it has 36 electrons.


How do you calculate the atomic mass of any element?

Find the element on the periodic table. Look at the number on the top. It is the relative atomic mass. Some Elements: Na - 23, Ne - 20 If you are not given the element name but only the information of the neutrons, protons and electrons. Add the protons and neutron together as they both are the one which contribute to the mass of the atom. Electrons are small so they do not add up to the mass of atom. Example: Element - Y (contain 2 protons, 2 electron, 2 neutron) Ar is 4. From the you can find out that element is He - Helium.
