Answer

Please see the answer below.

Work Step by Step

Number of protons in an atom = Atomic number For neutral atoms, number of protons = number of electrons. For cations, number of electrons = Atomic number- Charge on the atom. Number of neutrons = Atomic number- Mass number a) Cr- neutral atom Atomic number =24 Mass number = 52 Number of protons = 24 Number of electrons = 24 Number of neutrons = 28 b) Cd- neutral atom Atomic number =48 Mass number = 112 Number of protons = 48 Number of electrons = 48 Number of neutrons = 64 c) Ba- cation (2+ charge) Atomic number =56 Mass number = 137 Number of protons = 56 Number of electrons = 54 Number of neutrons = 83 d) Cu- cation (1+ charge) Atomic number =29 Mass number = 63 Number of protons = 29 Number of electrons = 28 Number of neutrons = 34 e) Fe- cation (2+ charge) Atomic number =26 Mass number = 56 Number of protons = 26 Number of electrons = 24 Number of neutrons = 30 f) Fe- cation (3+ charge) Atomic number =26 Mass number = 55 Number of protons = 26 Number of electrons = 23 Number of neutrons = 29
