Explanation:
The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number.
Mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom.
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic number = number of protons
Atomic number gives the symbol of the element
Number Number Atomic Mass Symbol
Protons neutrons Number Number
A 7 B 15 C
D E 26 56 F
A, number of protons = B
Mass number = protons + neutrons
15 = protons + 7
Protons = 15 - 7 = 8
Atomic number 8 is for oxygen = C
Atomic number = number of protons = D = 26
Number of neutrons ;
E = Neutrons = mass number - protons = 56 - 26 = 30
Atomic number 26 is for Iron = F
Yes because the protons are the same but the neutrons change
