5. Common (most stable) mass numbers of the following elements are Al-27, Pt-195, Co-59, Ag-108, and Au-197 respectively. Shorthand notation is written with a mass number on the
top and atomic number on the bottom of the element symbol. Check letters a-d in 4 above
and use those as examples to write the shorthand notation of the following elements and
determine the number of neutrons in each element.
Aluminum
Platinum
Cobalt
Silver
Gold

Number of neutrons of Al²⁷₁₃ = 14

Number of neutrons of Pt¹⁹⁵₇₈= 117

Number of neutrons of Co⁵⁹₂₇= 32

Number of neutrons of Ag¹⁰⁸₄₇= 61

Number of neutrons of Au¹⁹⁷₇₉ = 118

Explanation:

We know that atomic number of an atom is number of electron or protons while atomic mass is sum o number of neutrons and and protons.

Shorthand notations of given elements:

Al²⁷₁₃

This notation shows that atomic number of Al-27 is 13 and atomic mass is 27.

Number of neutrons of Al²⁷₁₃  = 27 - 13

Number of neutrons of Al²⁷₁₃ = 14

Pt¹⁹⁵₇₈

This notation shows that atomic number of Pt-195 is 78 and atomic mass is 195.

Number of neutrons of Pt¹⁹⁵₇₈  = 195 - 78

Number of neutrons of Pt¹⁹⁵₇₈= 117

Co⁵⁹₂₇

This notation shows that atomic number of Co-59 is 27 and atomic mass is 59.

Number of neutrons of Co⁵⁹₂₇  = 59 - 27

Number of neutrons of Co⁵⁹₂₇= 32

Ag¹⁰⁸₄₇

This notation shows that atomic number of Ag-108 is 47 and atomic mass is 108.

Number of neutrons of Ag¹⁰⁸₄₇  = 108 - 47

Number of neutrons of Ag¹⁰⁸₄₇= 61

Au¹⁹⁷₇₉

This notation shows that atomic number of Au-197 is 79 and atomic mass is 197.

Number of neutrons of Au¹⁹⁷₇₉  = 197 - 79

Number of neutrons of Au¹⁹⁷₇₉ = 118
