Answer:
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

¹⁹⁷₇₉Au 79 118 79
Solution:
p+n = atomic mass = 79+118 = 197
e = 79 (atomic number) so the element with atomic number Au.

⁷⁹₃₅Br 35 44 35
Solution:
Number of neutrons = atomic mass - number of protons= 79-35 = 44
Number of protons and electrons are equal so number of electrons are 35.

¹²⁷₅₃I 53 74 53
Solution:
The atomic number of iodine is 53.
Number of neutrons = atomic mass - number of protons= 127-53 = 74
Number of protons and electrons are equal so number of electrons are 53.

⁵⁶₂₆Fe 26 30 26
Solution:
The atomic number of iron is 26.
atomic mass = n+p= 26+30= 56
Number of protons and electrons are equal so number of electrons are 26.
