Question

determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom if given the atomic number and the mass number; also be able to determine in which electron shell the electrons will be found

Answer 1

1.) the number of proton = number of electron = atomic number

2.) mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

3.) number of neutron = atomic numbet - mass number

Step-by-step explanation:

example:CARBON

atomic number - 6

mass number - 12

protons - 6

electrons - 6

neutrons - 6
