MCQ
In the nucleus of $_{20}C{a^{40}}$ there are
  • A
    $40$  protons and $20$  electrons
  • B
    $20$ protons and $40 $ electrons
  • $20 $ protons and $20 $ neutrons
  • D
    $20 $ protons and $40 $ neutrons

Answer

Correct option: C.
$20 $ protons and $20 $ neutrons
c
(c) $P = \,$ $20$, mass no $(a) = 40$

$N = \,$ $A-P = $ $40 - 20 = 20$

$P = N = 20.$
