Respuesta :

Manetho

Answer:

25

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element are the same element with different mass numbers but the same atomic number or the number of protons.

we know that in a balanced atom

Number of electrons = Number of protons = Atomic number

Atomic number (z) of manganese = 25

For Mn+5, the number of protons remains the same = 25

However, the number of electrons on Mn+5 = 21
