In order to calculate the number of atoms, we must first know the number of moles present. And
moles = (mass present) / (molecular mass)
Therefore, the moles of Mg present are
170 / 24 = 7.08
The number of atoms in a mole of substance is given by Avagadro's Number which is 6.02 x 10^23
Since there are 7.08 moles, there are:
7.08 * 6.02*10^23
= 4.26 * 10^24 atoms
Atomic Number is the same as the number of protons in an element.
Mass Number is the number of Protons + Neutrons in an element.
Atomic Number: 6 means 6 Protons
Mass Number: 15 means 15 atoms that are a proton/neutron.
We are given out of the 15 atoms, 6 of them are protons, so the other 9 must be Neutrons.
15 - 6 = 9 so there must be 9 Neutrons.
There are 9 Neutrons in atom's nucleus.

Answer:
-Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.
-An atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. An ion has an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons.
-An atom has no electrical charge. Ions have an electrical charge because they have an imbalance of protons and electrons.
