An atom of gold with 79 protons, 79 Electrons and 118 neutrons would have a mass number of....
A) 39
B) 158
C) 197
D) 276

Answer:

C

Explanation:

An atom of gold with 79 protons, 79 Electrons and 118 neutrons would have a mass number of  197 gold. Therefore, option C is correct.

The total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus is known as the mass number, often known as the atomic mass number or nucleon number. In atomic mass units, it is roughly equivalent to the atom's atomic mass.

Because it indicates the mass of the entire number of protons and neutrons in an element, the mass number of an element is so named. The atomic number and atomic mass of an element are typically listed in periodic tables along with the chemical symbols for each element.

The third element in the periodic table's eleventh column is gold. It is under the transition metal category. The most common isotope of gold has 118 neutrons and 79 protons together with 79 electrons.

Thus, option C is correct.
