Given :
An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.
To Find :
The name of this element.
Solution :
We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.
Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .
Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
