Question

Calculate the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotope $^{76}_{32}\text{Ge}$.

Answer: 44

💡 Solution & Explanation

The mass number $A$ is the sum of protons ($Z$) and neutrons ($n$). For $^{76}_{32}\text{Ge}$, $A = 76$ and $Z = 32$. Therefore, $n = A - Z = 76 - 32 = 44$. [32]
