उत्तर
(a) i.
|
|
\[\ce{^24_12Mg}\] |
\[\ce{^26_12Mg}\] |
|
|
|
|
|
No. of electrons |
12 |
12 |
|
No. of protons |
12 |
12 |
|
No. of neutrons |
24 - 12 = 12 |
26 - 12 = 14 |
Hence, the composition of nuclei
\[\ce{_12Mg^24->(P,n),(12+12)_12Mg^26->(p,n)(12+14)}\]
ii. Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 2
(b) Mass numbers of two isotopes of magnesium are different because of the different number of neutrons, i.e. 12 and 14, respectively.
