Question

Identifying Characteristics of Atoms

Answer 1

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
