The mass would be 28. The mass of an atom equals the number of neutrons and protons added together. In this case, they do not say the protons. But we must use our inside knowledge to know that the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Thus, your number of protons would be 13
Did you mean when it is a liquid?
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion. The first or initial ionization energy or Ei of an atom or molecule is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of isolated gaseous atoms or ions
