Detailed Solution

The atomic mass number of an element IS 80, and it lies in group 17 of the periodic table.

$Z = 35, A = 45 + 35 = 80$ Group = 17

The monoatomic anion has 45 neutrons.

The monoatomic anion has 36 electrons total.

$∴$ The number of electrons in a monoatomic atom $= 36 - 1 = 35$

(Z=35) The atom's atomic number. The atom is thus bromine and is a member of the halogen family in group 17.

No. of protons = No. of electrons = 35

$∴$ Atomic mass = No. of neutrons + No. of electrons $= 45 + 35 = 80$

The answer in the given format is 8017.
