I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit.
The total amount of energy doesn't change. Energy is never created,
and it never disappears. If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere.
You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.
Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show. They are all
fakes. They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.
The atomic number is the simply the number of protons in the atom. So in the first row with atomic number 2, the number of protons is 2.
If the atom has no charge, which I think you can assume for all of these, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the number of electrons is also 2.
The number of neutrons (which are the particles with no charge in the nucleus) is simply the mass number minus the atomic number i.e. 4 - 2 = 2.
The isotopic symbol is the symbol which is found on the periodic table of elements. There are 2 numbers associated which each element on the table. The larger is the mass number and the smaller is the atomic number. The atomic number or number of protons is what identifies the element. Looking at the periodic table ( https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/PeriodicTableOfTheElementsBW.pdf or https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(big) ), it can be seen that the element on the first row above with an atomic number of 2 is Helium with a symbol He. The number that is included with the name is simply the mass number which is 4 in this case, which tells us that this type of helium has 2 neutrons.
Another type (or isotope) of helium is Helium-3 which has one neutron.
Try the next row and post back if you have trouble with it

it has to be 20 charecters just ignore this your answer is up there
The nucleons(protons and neutrons) are held together by means of this strong force. If this strong never existed, all the nucleus will blow themselves due to strong repulsive force between protons(neutron has no charge).
Thats it!
If I explain beyond, it will surely bounce off your head. Anyways, if you wanna know more bout it, ping me. (:
