A) an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons B) an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons - an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons C) an atom with 8 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 7 protons and 8 neutrons D) an atom with 7 protons and 6 neutrons - an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons

Answer 1
