Solution

The correct option is C 50Cr2+
An element can be represented as: AZXn±
Where, A is mass number of the element
Z is the atomic number
n± is the charge associated with the element
and X is the symbol of element.
From the given values,
Number of protons =24
Hence, atomic number is 24 means that the element is chromium. Symbol =Cr
Number of electrons =22
Hence, charge on element =2422=+2
Mass number =number of proton+number of neutron=24+26=50
Hence, 50Cr2+, option (c) is corect.
