Protons Neutrons | MCQs

Explanation

Atomic nuclei consist of electrically positive protons and electrically neutral neutrons.

The nucleus makes up much less than. 01% of the volume of the atom,

but typically contains more than 99.9% of the mass of the atom.

Explanation

To determine the symbol of element B with five protons and six neutrons, we can follow these steps:

The number of protons (atomic number) determines the element. An element with five protons is boron (B).

The mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons. For this element, it is 5 + 6 = 11.

Therefore, the symbol for this element is 11B.
