Step1: Recall atomic - structure relationships
For a neutral atom, the number of protons = number of electrons. The mass number = number of protons+number of neutrons. For an ion, adjust the number of electrons according to the charge.
Step2: Fill the first row
Atomic number = 51, so number of protons = 51. Mass number = 122, number of neutrons = 122 - 51=71. Since number of electrons = 51, assume neutral, symbol notation: $^{122}_{51}Sb$ (antimony).
Step3: Fill the second row
Atomic number = 19, so number of protons = 19. Mass number = 39, number of neutrons = 39 - 19 = 20. Since number of electrons = 19, assume neutral, symbol notation: $^{39}_{19}K$ (potassium).
Step4: Fill the third row
Number of protons = 38, atomic number = 38. Mass number = number of protons+number of neutrons = 38 + 50=88. Since number of electrons = 36, it is a 2+ ion, symbol notation: $^{88}_{38}Sr^{2 + }$ (strontium).
Step5: Fill the fourth row
Atomic number = 20, number of protons = 20. Mass number = 40, number of neutrons = 40 - 20 = 20. Given $Ca^{2+}$, number of electrons = 20 - 2 = 18.
Step6: Fill the fifth row
Atomic number = 35, number of protons = 35. Mass number = number of protons+number of neutrons = 35+45 = 80. Since number of electrons = 36, it is a 1 - ion, symbol notation: $^{80}_{35}Br^{-}$ (bromine).
Step7: Fill the sixth row
Atomic number = 43, number of protons = 43. Mass number = 43+55 = 98. Since number of electrons = 43, assume neutral, symbol notation: $^{98}_{43}Tc$ (technetium).
Step8: Fill the seventh row
Atomic number = 12, number of protons = 12. Mass number = 25, number of neutrons = 25 - 12 = 13. Given $Mg^{2+}$, number of electrons = 12 - 2 = 10.
Step9: Fill the eighth row
Atomic number = 9, number of protons = 9. Mass number = 19, number of neutrons = 19 - 9 = 10. Given $F^{-}$, number of electrons = 9+1 = 10.
Step10: Fill the ninth row
Atomic number = 53, number of protons = 53. Mass number = 53+73 = 126. Since number of electrons = 54, it is a 1 - ion, symbol notation: $^{126}_{53}I^{-}$ (iodine).
Step11: Fill the tenth row
Atomic number = 47, number of protons = 47. Mass number = 110, number of neutrons = 110 - 47 = 63. Since number of electrons = 45, it is a 2+ ion, symbol notation: $^{110}_{47}Ag^{2+}$ (silver).
Step12: Fill the eleventh row
Atomic number = 16, number of protons = 16. Mass number = 32, number of neutrons = 32 - 16 = 16. Given $S^{2 - }$, number of electrons = 16+2 = 18.
