Locate the element zinc (zn) on the periodic table. how many protons does an atom of zinc contain? how many electrons does an atom of zinc contain? how many neutrons does an atom of zinc contain? give your answer to the nearest whole number.

Location the element zinc (Zn) on the periodic table:

Protons in an atom of Zn:  30

Electrons in a Zn atom: 30

Neutron in an atom of Zn: 35

Number of protons and electrons in Zinc are 30 and number of neutrons in zinc are 35.

Explanation:

Zinc is the 30th element of the periodic table having mass number of 65.

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

For Zinc:

Z = 30

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 30

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

A = 65

So, Number of neutrons = 65 - 30 = 35

Hence,  number of protons and electrons in Zinc are 30 and number of neutrons in zinc are 35.

c, liquids evaporate, creating a gas

oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

they're all from the same group as sulfur (group 16).
