Step1: Recall key atomic rules
- Atomic Number = # of Protons = # of Electrons (neutral atom)
- Mass Number = # of Protons + # of Neutrons
- Charge = # of Protons - # of Electrons
- Isotope notation: $^A_Z X^{c+}$, where $A$=Mass #, $Z$=Atomic #, $c$=charge

Row 1 (Hydrogen, charge=0, neutrons=2)
Step1: Find protons (neutral atom)
Charge=0, so #Protons=#Electrons. Hydrogen has atomic number 1, so #Protons=1
Step2: Calculate mass number
$\text{Mass Number} = 1 + 2 = 3$
Step3: Fill remaining values
Symbol: $^3\text{H}$, Atomic #=1, #Electrons=1
---
Row 2 (Atomic #=19, Mass #=39, charge=0)
Step1: Identify element & protons
Atomic #=19 = #Protons, element is Potassium (K)
Step2: Calculate neutrons
$\text{#Neutrons} = 39 - 19 = 20$
Step3: Find electrons (neutral)
#Electrons=#Protons=19
---
Row 3 ($^{13}\text{C}$)
Step1: Get atomic/mass numbers
Atomic # of C=6, Mass #=13, #Protons=6
Step2: Calculate neutrons
$\text{#Neutrons} = 13 - 6 = 7$
Step3: Find electrons (neutral)
Charge=0, so #Electrons=6, Element=Carbon
---
Row 4 (Chlorine, charge=0)
Step1: Get atomic number
Chlorine atomic #=17 = #Protons=#Electrons
Step2: Use most common mass #
Most common isotope is $^{35}\text{Cl}$, so Mass #=35
Step3: Calculate neutrons
$\text{#Neutrons} = 35 - 17 = 18$
Step4: Fill symbol
Symbol: $\text{Cl}$
---
Row 5 ($^{200}\text{Au}^{2+}$)
Step1: Get atomic/mass numbers
Au atomic #=79 = #Protons, Mass #=200
Step2: Calculate neutrons
$\text{#Neutrons} = 200 - 79 = 121$
Step3: Find electrons (2+ charge)
$\text{#Electrons} = 79 - 2 = 77$
Step4: Identify element & charge
Element=Gold, Charge=2+
---
Row 6 (#Neutrons=8, #Electrons=10)
Step1: Find charge
Assume neutral atomic #=8 (Oxygen), $\text{Charge} = 8 - 10 = 2-$

Row 8 (Mercury, Mass #=202, charge=3-)
Step1: Get atomic number
Hg atomic #=80 = #Protons
Step2: Calculate neutrons
$\text{#Neutrons} = 202 - 80 = 122$
Step3: Find electrons
$\text{#Electrons} = 80 + 3 = 83$
Step4: Fill symbol
Symbol: $^{202}\text{Hg}^{3-}$
---
Row 9 ($^{20}\text{Ne}$)
Step1: Get atomic number
Ne atomic #=10 = #Protons
Step2: Calculate neutrons
$\text{#Neutrons} = 20 - 10 = 10$
Step3: Find electrons (neutral)
#Electrons=10, Charge=0, Element=Neon
