Question

if a built an atom with 53 protons, 58 neutrons, and 54 electrons:
a. what element would i have?
b. what charge would this element have?
c what mass number would this element have?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify element by proton number

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. The element with atomic number 53 is Iodine (I).

Step2: Calculate the charge

Charge = Number of protons - Number of electrons. Given 53 protons and 54 electrons, Charge = 53 - 54=- 1.

Step3: Calculate the mass number

Mass number = Number of protons+Number of neutrons. Given 53 protons and 58 neutrons, Mass number = 53 + 58 = 111.

Answer:

a. Iodine (I)
b. - 1
c. 111
