CALCULATE THE MASS NUMBER AND DETERMINE THE ELEMENT.

17. atomic number = 5                                                             18. electrons = 52

       neutrons = 6                                                                              neutrons = 76

           

CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF PROTONS AND ELECTRONS, AND DETERMINE THE ELEMENT.

19. neutrons = 22       20. neutrons = 78        mass number = 40           mass number = 133

IF YOU KNOW ONLY THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION, CAN YOU ALWAYS DETERMINE WHAT THE ELEMENT IS, YES OR NO?

number of protons _______

number of neutrons _______

number of electrons of a neutral atom _______

Explanation / Answer

Shorthand notation for

Chlorine is Cl and its atomic number is 17 amd mass mass number is 34.45

Phosphorus is P and atomic number is 15 and mass mumber is 31

Strontium is Sr ,atomic number is 38 and mass number is 89

Zinc is Zn and atomic number is 30 and mass number is 65

Neon atomic number is 10 and mass number is 20 and symbol is Ne

Silicon, symbol is Si and atomic number is 14 and mass number is 28.

Berylium ,the symbol is Be and atomic number is 4 and mass number is 9

Calcium ,the symbol is Ca and atomic number is 20 and mass number is 40

Calculate number of protons neutrons and electrons

9. Carbon-12

E-6

P-6

Neutrons-6

14. Fluorine-19

E-9

P-9

Neutrons-10

10. Cadmium-112

E-48

P-48

N-64

15. Sodium 23

E-11

P11

N-12

Oxygen-16

E-8

P-8

N-8

Calculate the mass number and identify element

Atomic number 5 and neutron 6

Element is boron and its mass number is 11

Electrons 52 and neutrons 76

Element is telurium and mass number is 128

Calcuate the number of protons and electrons and determine the element

19. Neutrons 22 and mass number 40 ,so number of protons will be 18 and the electrons will also be 18 and the element is argon

20 neutrons 78 and mass number 133 so the number of protons will be 133-78=55 and electrons will also be 55 and the element is cesium

If u know only protons ,then yes ypu can kdentify what the element is as number .of protons and electorns are equal in an neutral atom

If u know only neutrons then NO

If u know number of electrons i an neutral atom then Yes it will be its atomic number.
