Answer:

Carbon

Step-by-step explanation:

This elelemnt is carbon because it has 6 protons. The number of electrons determines the type of element. Only carbon can have 6 protons. The mass number is 13. 6 protons + 7 neutrons = mass of 13. This is an isotope of carbon. This isotope is called carbon-13.

protons = positive charge (in the nucleus) tells what the element is

neutrons = neutral charge (in the nucleus)

electrons = negative charge (orbits the nucleus)
