How many protons and neutrons are in 119_sn? o a. 50 n and 119 p o b. 50 p and 169 1 o c. 50 p and 69 o d. 50 n and 169 p o e. none of the above.

The given isotope of tin has 50 protons and 69 neutrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in neutral atom. It is represented as Z.

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

An isotope having representation

Mass number of Sn = 19

Atomic number = 50

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 119 - 50 = 69

Hence, the given isotope of tin has 50 protons and 69 neutrons.
