Learning Check 29 An atom of lead (Pb) has a mass number of 207. A. How many protons are in the nucleus? B. How many neutrons are in the nucleus? C. How many electrons are in the atom? Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. Solution 30 An atom of lead (Pb) has a mass number of 207. A. How many protons are in the nucleus? atomic number = 82; number protons = 82 B. How many neutrons are in the nucleus? mass number – number protons = number neutrons 207 – 82 = 125 neutrons C. How many electrons are in the atom? An atom is neutral, which means that the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore an atom of Pb has 82 protons and 82 electrons.

What is the mass number of the most prevalent (most abundant) isotope? The periodic table atomic mass of lithium is 6.941 amu. 3 Li 6.941 Since the atomic mass of Li is closer to 7, the most prevalent isotope is Li-7.
