Question

If an atom has 30 electrons and 35 neutrons, what is its approximate atomic mass? what is the name of this element?

Answer 1

30 electrons = atomic number
Look at your periodic table. You will see zinc has a atomic number (the top number) of 30.

When you add 30 and 35 you get 65. The is the atoms ATOMIC MASS. So looking at zinc on the periodic table, look at its bottom number, which is its atomic mass. It will be 65.

This means the name of the element is ZINC.

Hope this helped!
