example	atom or ion has	what element is it?

|1|# of protons: 6

of neutrons: 6

of electrons: 6| |

|2|# of protons: 7

of neutrons: 6

of electrons: 6| |

|3|# of protons: 6

of neutrons: 7

of electrons: 7| |

Explanation:

Step1: Recall element - proton relationship

The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons.

Step2: Identify element for case 1

Since the number of protons is 6, the element is Carbon.

Step3: Identify element for case 2

With 7 protons, the element is Nitrogen.

Step4: Identify element for case 3

As the number of protons is 6, the element is Carbon.
