Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Pt

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let a be the number of protons in an element. The number of neutrons is a+0.32a=1.32a  As the mass number is 181. It is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. 181=a + 1.32aa=78 Which is equal to atomic number of Pt.
