Question

1. use the simulation in \symbol\ mode to build stable charged atoms of two other elements. record information about each charged atom in the table below. view row 1 as an example. (the mass number is the # in the upper left corner in the symbol box.)

(1 point)

element name	number of protons	number of neutrons	number of electrons	mass number	charge
lithium	□	□	4	5	□
□	6	8	□	□	0

Explanation:

For Lithium row:

Step 1: Find number of protons

The atomic number of Lithium is 3, so number of protons = 3.

Step 2: Find number of neutrons

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. Given mass number = 5, number of protons = 3. So number of neutrons = 5 - 3 = 2.

Step 3: Find charge

Charge = number of protons - number of electrons. Number of protons = 3, number of electrons = 4. So charge = 3 - 4 = -1.

For the third row:

Step 1: Find element name

Number of protons = 6, so the element is Carbon (atomic number 6).

Step 2: Find mass number

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 6 + 8 = 14.

Step 3: Find number of electrons

Charge = 0, so number of electrons = number of protons = 6.

Filled Table:

Element Name	Number of Protons	Number of Neutrons	Number of Electrons	Mass Number	Charge
Lithium	3	2	4	5	-1
Carbon	6	8	6	14	0

Answer:

s for blanks:

• Lithium: Number of Protons = 3, Number of Neutrons = 2, Charge = -1
• Third row: Element Name = Carbon, Number of Electrons = 6, Mass Number = 14
