Answer:
I'm a bit confused on where the question is. Perhaps re-write it in the comments? I'd love to help but this seems more like an answer than a question xD
Explanation:
•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.
•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.
•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.
So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons
Answer :
The steps involved in the electron dot structure of 
are :
First we have to determine the total number of valence electron in .
Number of valence electrons in N = 5
The charge on N is (-3). So, we add 3 electrons.
Total number of valence electrons = 5 + 3 = 8 electrons
