Answer:
45, 34, 36
Explanation:
The atomic number of Selenium is 34 and the atomic number is 79 also the atom has gained two electron denoted by superscript -2
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 79 - 34 = 45
number of proton = atomic number = 34
number of electron = 34 + 2 = 36. In an atom the number of proton is always equal to number of electron if the atom is neutral but this Se atom has gain two so the number of electron will exceed the number of proton by 2.
The Se ion has 34 protons, 45 neutrons and 36 electrons.
The mass number (A) is given by the sum of the protons and neutrons:
A = protons + neutrons = 79
From the Periodic Table, we can see that the chemical element Selenium (Se) has an atomic number (Z) of 34, which is equal to the number of protons of a chemical element:
Z = protons = 34
Thus, we calculate the number of neutrons as the difference between A and Z:
neutrons = A - Z = 79 - 34 = 45
In a neutral atom (without electric charge), the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Since Se ion has 34 protons and a charge of -2, it has 34 electrons to be neutral and then it gained 2 electrons, so the number of electrons is equal to:
electrons = protons + 2 = 34 + 2 = 36
