What is this element A beryllium B nitrogen C lithium D carbonWhat is the mass number for the element aboveA10 B7 C6 D4 class=

Respuesta :

A lithium atom contains 3 protons in its nucleus. Notice that because the lithium atom always has 3 protons, the atomic number for lithium is always Z = 3. The mass number, however, is A = 6 for the isotope with 3 neutrons, and A = 7 for the isotope with 4 neutrons.
so most Likely your answer should be...

C. Lithium
