If scientists have determined that a neutral atom of rubidium has an atomic number of 37 and a mass number of 85 how many protons neutrons and electrons does the atom have?

Answer 1

Rubidium's atomic number is 37 and atomic number is the same as the protons (37 protons) Protons equal electrons so there is the same number of protons and electrons (37 electrons). The atomic mass of this element is About 85, and protons and neutrons weigh about 1 so you can subtract 37 from 85 to get and 48 neutrons.

37 protons, 37 electrons and 48 neutrons.

Answer 2

This neutral atom of rubidium has 37 protons (atomic number), 37 electrons (since it is neutral and has the same number of protons and electrons), and 85 - 37 = 48 neutrons (mass number minus the number of protons).

Answer 3

the number of neutrons = 67

the number of proton = 98

of electron = 98

Answer 4

no there's 37 protons 37 neutrons and 37 electrons

Answer 5

There are 37 protons Z and 48 neutrons N in a nucleus of the most common isotope of rubidium 85 37 Rb.
