A stable atom that has a large nucleus most likely contains
more neutrons than protons.
more protons than neutrons.
equal numbers of protons and neutrons.
changing numbers of protons and neutrons.

Respuesta :

The right answer is Letter A 

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that ratio of neutron is to proton is equal to 1.5.

Mathematically,     [tex]\frac{Neutron}{proton} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5[/tex]          

This means that in a large nucleus there will be 2 protons for 3 neutrons. That is, the number of neutrons will always be slightly greater than the number of protons.

Hence, we can conclude that a stable atom that has a large nucleus most likely contains more neutrons than protons.
