To complete the chart for a boron isotope, we need to know some fundamental facts about boron:
- The atomic number (Z) of boron is 5, which means it has 5 protons.
- The mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. Common isotopes of boron include Boron-10 and Boron-11.
- Boron-10 (B-10) has 5 protons and 5 neutrons (mass number 10).
- Boron-11 (B-11) has 5 protons and 6 neutrons (mass number 11).
- In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, boron will also have 5 electrons.
For Boron-10:
- Isotope name: Boron-10
- Atomic #: 5
- Mass #: 10
-
of protons: 5
-
of neutrons: 5
-
of electrons: 5
For Boron-11:
- Isotope name: Boron-11
- Atomic #: 5
- Mass #: 11
-
of protons: 5
-
of neutrons: 6
-
of electrons: 5
You can choose either Boron-10 or Boron-11 based on your needs. Let me know if you need further information!
