The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in Lu respectively, are:
To determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in Lu we need to understand the notation of isotopes.In the isotope notation X is the mass number, is the atomic number, and is the element symbol.For Lu⢠(mass number)⢠(atomic number)⢠Lu is the symbol for the element Lutetium.The atomic number represents the number of protons. Therefore, ⢠Number of protons In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore,⢠Number of electrons The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. Therefore,⢠Number of neutrons Thus, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in Lu are 71, 104, and 71, respectively.This corresponds to Option 4.
