Respuesta :

The number of protons in the element is 33.

From the information provided we can find the relative atomic mass of the element as follows;

RAM = (0.241 × 75.23) + (0.487  × 74.61) + (0.272 × 75.20)

RAM = 18.13 + 36.34 + 20.45

RAM = 74.92  amu

The element with relative atomic mass of 74.92 amu is Arsenic.

The atomic  number of arsenic is 33. This is the number of protons in its nucleus. Therefore, the number of protons in the element is 33.
