The correct Answer is:
To determine which element has no neutrons in its nucleus, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Atomic Structure**: - An atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number, and the number of neutrons can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Atomic Mass} - \text{Atomic Number} \] 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **(a) Hydrogen**: - Atomic Mass = 1 - Atomic Number = 1 - Number of Neutrons = 1 - 1 = 0 - **Conclusion**: Hydrogen has 0 neutrons. - **(b) Nitrogen**: - Atomic Mass = 14 - Atomic Number = 7 - Number of Neutrons = 14 - 7 = 7 - **Conclusion**: Nitrogen has 7 neutrons. - **(c) Helium**: - Atomic Mass = 4 - Atomic Number = 2 - Number of Neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2 - **Conclusion**: Helium has 2 neutrons. - **(d) Boron**: - Atomic Mass = 11 - Atomic Number = 5 - Number of Neutrons = 11 - 5 = 6 - **Conclusion**: Boron has 6 neutrons. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - Among the options analyzed, only hydrogen has no neutrons in its nucleus. ### Answer: The element having no neutron in the nucleus of its atom is **(a) hydrogen**. ---
