Transcript text: Part A Consider a neutral atom with 30 protons and 34 neutrons. The number of electrons in this atom is $\qquad$ 94 64 32 30 34

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Element

A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. The number of protons in the atom is given as 30. This corresponds to the atomic number of the element, which is zinc (Zn).

Step 2: Determine the Number of Electrons

Since the atom is neutral, the number of electrons must equal the number of protons. Therefore, the number of electrons in this atom is 30.

Final Answer

$\boxed{30}$
