The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the two atoms X and Y, we will analyze the provided information step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given data We have two atoms with the following information: - Atom X: Nucleon number (mass number) = 14, Proton number (atomic number) = 7 - Atom Y: Nucleon number (mass number) = 15, Proton number (atomic number) = 7 ### Step 2: Identify the elements The proton number (atomic number) indicates the element. Since both atoms have a proton number of 7, they are both nitrogen atoms (N). ### Step 3: Calculate the number of neutrons To find the number of neutrons in each atom, we use the formula: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Nucleon Number} - \text{Proton Number} \] For Atom X: - Nucleon number = 14 - Proton number = 7 \[ \text{Number of Neutrons in X} = 14 - 7 = 7 \] For Atom Y: - Nucleon number = 15 - Proton number = 7 \[ \text{Number of Neutrons in Y} = 15 - 7 = 8 \] ### Step 4: Determine the electronic configuration The electronic configuration can be determined based on the number of electrons, which equals the number of protons for neutral atoms. For Atom X (7 electrons): - 2 electrons in the first shell - 5 electrons in the second shell Thus, the electronic configuration of X is \( 2, 5 \). For Atom Y (7 electrons): - 2 electrons in the first shell - 5 electrons in the second shell Thus, the electronic configuration of Y is also \( 2, 5 \). ### Step 5: Identify the number of valence electrons Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. For both atoms X and Y, the outermost shell has 5 electrons. ### Step 6: Determine the number of electron shells Both atoms have 2 electron shells: - First shell: 2 electrons - Second shell: 5 electrons ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Both atoms X and Y have the same number of valence electrons (5). - Both atoms have the same number of electron shells (2). - The number of neutrons differs (7 for X and 8 for Y). Thus, the correct statement about these two atoms is that they have the same number of valence electrons. ### Final Answer The correct option is that both atoms X and Y have the same number of valence electrons.

To solve the question regarding the two atoms X and Y, we will analyze the provided information step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given data We have two atoms with the following information: - Atom X: Nucleon number (mass number) = 14, Proton number (atomic number) = 7 - Atom Y: Nucleon number (mass number) = 15, Proton number (atomic number) = 7 ### Step 2: Identify the elements ...
