The ratio of neutrons to protons of an element having a mass number and atomic number of 80 and 40 respectively is ___________________?

Correct answer: A. 1

  • A. 1
  • B. 0.5
  • C. 2
  • D. 4

Explanation

The neutron number is mass number minus atomic number: 80 − 40 = 40. Since the proton number is 40, the neutron-to-proton ratio is 40/40 = 1.
