In the following figure below, what is the number of neutrons, protons, electrons, atomic number, and mass number? 40. Ca 20 Number 20, E 20, P 0, N 40. Mass number = 40, Atomic Number = 20, E 20, P 20, N 20. Mass number = 40, Atomic Number = 40, E 40, P 20, N 20. Atomic Number = 20, Mass number = 40, E 20, P 20, N 20. Mass number = 20, Atomic Number = 20.

An atom has 10 protons and 10 neutrons. Which of the following is an isotope to this atom?
Marlyn J.
An element, $\mathrm{X}$, have three isotopes $\mathrm{X}^{20}$ $\mathrm{X}^{21}$ and $\mathrm{X}^{22}$. The percentage abundance of $\mathrm{X}^{20}$ is $90 \%$ and its average atomic mass of the element is $20.18$. The percentage abundance of $X^{21}$ should be (a) $2 \%$ (b) $8 \%$ (c) $10 \%$ (d) $0 \%$
