The AZX symbol of a cation with 13 neutrons is A = 24 , Z = 11 and X = Na+
What is AZX?
AZX is a symbol which stands for;
- A is the mass number
- Z is the atomic number or the number of protons
- X is the chemical symbol of the element
Note, cations are positively-charged ions having more protons than electrons due to loss of one or more electrons.
Sodium ion represented as Na+ is a cation which lost one electron. It has 13 neutrons and 11 protons.
But the mass number of an element, A is the sum of protons and neutrons of the element.
Thus, for Na+
A = 13 + 11 = 24
Z = 11
X = Na+
Therefore, the AZX symbol of a cation with 13 neutrons is A = 24 , Z = 11 and X = Na+
