How do you figure out the number of electrons, neutrons, and protons of an element by only being given the mass?

Well there is the same amount of electrons as protons and if you add the number of protons and neutrons together you get the atomic number.
the number of protons is roughly half that of the atomic number but not all the time so i dont know how to find it just from the atomic mass but if you have a periodic table you can look at the atomic mass and find which element it is and then do it from there also the atomic mass is the bottom numbers the protons are the top numbers of the atom in like 2

Tasya [4]

A physical change occurs when a substance changes phase.

For example, boiling pure water (H₂O) is physical change of substance (from liquid to gaseous state). In physical change, the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen can not be separated.

Sublimation of iodine (from solid to gas state) is also physical change.

Physical property can be observed and measured without any changes in molecular composition. The same substance is present before and after the change.

Ad libitum [116K]

Inert gases are also called noble gases. They are the elements found in Group 8A in the periodic table. They are inert because they don't react with other elements. This is because they have the most stable electronic configuration. That's why elements form ions to gain or give way electrons so that they conform with the electronic configuration of the nearest inert gas. Basing on the periodic table, the nearest inert gas to K is Argon. The nearest inert gas to I is Xenon.
