Part of one row of the periodic table is shown.



Which element’s atoms have the greatest average number of neutrons?

tin (Sn)
antimony (Sb)
tellurium (Te)
iodine (I)

Respuesta :

Number of neutrons can be calculated as = mass number-atomic number

so for all these elements, no. of neutrons will be calculated as:

For tin(Sn),

number of neutrons= 119-50

=69

For antimony(Sb),

No. of neutrons=122-51

=71

For Tellurium(Te),

No. of neutrons=128-52

=76

For iodine(I),

No. of neutrons= 127-53

= 74

So tellurium will have highest number of neutrons

Answer:

tellurium (Te)
