Unveiling The Neutronic Composition Of Gallium: A Guide To Its Atomic Nucleus
To determine the neutron count of gallium, we examine its atomic number (31) and the mass number of its isotope gallium-69 (69). By subtracting the atomic number from the mass number (69 – 31 = 38), we find that gallium-69 has 38 neutrons. Delving into the Atomic Number: The Essence of an Element’s Identity What…
