Solution

The correct option is B
89. 142, 89

Atomic number of the element Y = 89
Mass number of the element Y = 231
Atomic number =number of protons = number of electrons
Number of protons = number of electrons = 89
Number of neutrons = Mass number – Atomic number
Number of neutrons = 231 – 89 = 142
