An isotope has 26 protons, 24 electrons and 32 neutrons what is the identity?

A 58Ge2+
B 58Fe2-
C 58Ge2-
D 58Fe2+

Hey there!

This atom has 26 protons, which means it is an iron atom, or Fe.

26 + 32 = 58

Charge is difference between protons and electrons.

26 - 24 = 2 (+)

We have 58, Fe, and 2+.

That means our answer is D. ⁵⁸Fe²⁺.

Hope this helps!

it is the most commonly accepted one

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
