A nuclide is represented by \(_{32}^{70}B\). Determine its neutron-proton ratio
A
0.5
B
0.8
C
1.2
D
1.5
correct option: c
The element B has a mass number 70 and atomic number 32.
Hence, B has 32 protons and (70-32) = 38 neutrons.
The neutron to proton ratio is 38:32 = \(\frac{38}{32} = 1.1875\)
\(\approxeq 1.2\)
