A hypothetical of element `X` with mass number 40, posses 2 units of positive charge and `23%` more neutrons than electrons. Symbol of the ion is :

A

`_(20)^(40)X^(+2)`

B

`_(19)^(40)X^(+2)`

C

`_(18)^(40)X^(+2)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

A hypothetical ion of …………
`._(z)^(40)X^(2+)`
`n = e +(23)/(100)e` &
`n = 40 -z` or
`n = 40- (e+2)`
`40-(e+2)= e+(23)/(100)e`
`40 = (123e)/(100)+e+2`
`40-2= (223 e)/(100)`
`e = 17, z = 19 or n = 21`
