Question
if an element has 5 protons and 6 neutrons, how many electrons does it have?
5
6

Brief Explanations
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The element here has 5 protons, so for a neutral atom (assuming it's neutral, as no charge is specified), the number of electrons should match the number of protons.
