Explanation / Answer

1. Number of protons in this atom = 3 { Because in an atom the number of protons = no. of electrons.}

2.Atom's atomic number = 3 [ Because Atomic number = No.of protons or No. of electrons ]

3.The Mass number is 6 [ Mass number =No.of protons(3) +No. of neutrons (3) = 6 ]

4.Electrons in the 1st shell is calculated by 2n2  =2 X 12 =2

5.Electrons in the 2nd shell is = Total no .of electrons(3)- Electrons in 1st shell (2) =1

6.The atomic number = 6 [ Because the atomic number is equal to the no.of protons ]

7.The Mass number = 12 [ Because the mass number = No.of protons (6) + No. of neutrons (6) =12 ]

8.The electrons it has = 6 [ Because in an atom ,the no.of protons(6) is equal to no.of electrons ]

9.Electrons in 3rd shell = 0 [ Because total electrons are 6 which can be distributed in the 1st and 2nd shells as 2 and 4.]

10.Neutrons it has = Mass number (24) - No. of protons (11) = 13

11.Electrons it has = No.of protons = 11 [ In an atom No.of protons = No.of electrons ]

12.Electrons in its 2nd shell = 2n2 = 2 X 22= 8

13.Atomic number = No.of protons or No.of electrons = 11

14.Neutrons it has = 17 [ Because No.of neutrons= Atomic mass- No.of protons .In an atom no.of protons equals the no.of electrons]

15.Its Atomic number = No.of protons or No.of electrons= 15

16.Its Mass number = No.of protons + No. of neutrons .

Here Atomic number is 15 = No.of protons`

so ,the Mass number = 15 + 18 = 33.

17.The no. of electrons = 15 [ Because the no.of electrons= no.of protons ]

18.It is an isotope [ 15 P33 ] Because here phosphorus differs in mass number (33 )but has the same atomic number (15 ).

19.Electrons in 3rd shell = 7 [ As there are only 17 electrons , they can be distributed in 1st, 2nd and 3rd shells as 2 ,8 , and 7 .]

20. This type of atom is called isotope.and it is phosphorus 15 P 32.

21. The charge is = No. of protons ( +15) + No.of electrons ( -17 ) = -2.

22.Electrons in 2nd shell = 2 X 4 = 8 [ Because 11 electrons can be distributed as 2, 8 , 1 ].

23.The charge = No.of protons ( +12) + No.of electrons (-11) = +1.

24.Its Atomic number = 12 [ Because atomic number = No.of protons. Here Mass number = 25 which is the sum of numbers of protons and neutrons.No.of neutrons=13.so, no. of protons = 25-13=12.]

25. Electrons in 3rd shell = 2 [ Because 12 electrons can be distributed as 2, 8, 2 ]
