The number of neutrons in dipositive Zinc ion is

  • A.35
  • B.36
  • C.38
  • D.40

Answer: D

The \(\mathrm{Zn^{2+}}\) ion contains 35 neutrons.

Zinc has \(Z=30\) and a mass number of 65, so \[N = A - Z = 65 - 30 = 35\] Forming the dipositive ion removes two electrons; the nucleus is untouched, so the neutron count is unchanged.
