An element has 5 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus. Calculate (a) number of electrons, (b) atomic number,(c ) mass number,(d) valence electrons, (e) valency.
(a) Number of electrons = Number of protons = 5
(b) Atomic number = Number of protons = 5
(c) Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neurons = 6 + 5 = 11
(d) Electronic configuration = 2,3
Valence electrons = Number of electrons in outermost shell of an atom of an element = 3
(e) Valency = 3
