If you have 5 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons, what would the symbol look like?

Option A. ¹¹ ₅B⁰

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Proton = 5

Neutron = 6

Electron = 5

Symbol of element =..?

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 5

Atomic number = proton number = 5

Therefore,

Atomic number = 5

Next, we shall determine the mass number of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

Proton = 5

Neutron = 6

Mass number =.?

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

Mass number = 5 + 6

Mass number = 11

Next we shall determine the name of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

Since no two elements have the same atomic number, the element is therefore called boron (B). This is true because only boron (B) has atomic number of 5 in the periodic table.

Next, we shall determine the charge of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

Proton = 5

Electron = 5

Charge =?

Charge = proton – electron

Charge = 5 – 5

Charge = 0

Therefore, the charge on the element is zero.

Finally, we shall determine the symbol of the element as follow:

Mass number = 11

Atomic number = 5

Charge = 0

Name of element = Boron

Symbol = ¹¹ ₅B⁰
