For <strong>titanium (Ti), the atomic number is 22<\/strong>, meaning every titanium atom has <strong>22 protons<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mass Number (A) and Neutrons (N)<\/strong>:<br>The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Given that the isotope has a <strong>mass number of 48<\/strong>, we can determine the number of neutrons using the formula: [<br>\\text{Neutrons} = \\text{Mass Number} &#8211; \\text{Protons}<br>] [<br>N = 48 &#8211; 22 = 26<br>] So, this isotope of titanium has <strong>26 neutrons<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electrons in a Neutral Atom<\/strong>:<br>In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons because the positive and negative charges balance out. Since titanium has <strong>22 protons<\/strong>, a neutral titanium atom also has <strong>22 electrons<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Checking Answer Choices<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>p = 22, n = 26, e = 22<\/strong> \u2705 (Correct)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>p = 11, n = 26, e = 11<\/strong> \u274c (Wrong proton count)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>p = 11, n = 11, e = 70<\/strong> \u274c (Wrong proton count, incorrect neutron-electron balance)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>p = 11, n = 22, e = 48<\/strong> \u274c (Incorrect)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>p = 22, n = 22, e = 48<\/strong> \u274c (Wrong neutron and electron count)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since titanium-48 is a naturally occurring isotope, understanding its structure helps in material science, particularly in aerospace and biomedical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I\u2019ll generate an image to visually represent the atomic structure of titanium-48.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the atomic model of titanium-48, showing the correct number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
