Explanation:

Step1: Recall atomic - structure relationships

Atomic number = number of protons. In a neutral atom, number of electrons = number of protons. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number.

Step2: For the first atom (6 protons)

Atomic number = 6. Since number of protons = 6, element is carbon (C). Atomic mass = 12 (assuming a common isotope, as the written 15 might be a mistake for carbon - 12). Number of neutrons = 12 - 6=6. Number of electrons = 6 (neutral atom). Ion: no, Charge: 0.

Step3: For the second atom (7 protons)

Atomic number = 7, element is nitrogen (N). Atomic mass = 14. Number of neutrons = 14 - 7 = 7. Number of electrons = 7 (neutral atom). Ion: no, Charge: 0.

Step4: For the third atom (6 protons)

Atomic number = 6, element is carbon (C). Atomic mass = 11. Number of neutrons = 11 - 6 = 5. Number of electrons = 6 (neutral atom). Ion: no, Charge: 0.

Step5: For the fourth atom (5 protons)

Atomic number = 5, element is boron (B). Atomic mass = 10. Number of neutrons = 10 - 5 = 5. Number of electrons = 5 (neutral atom). Ion: no, Charge: 0.

Answer:

1. Protons: 6, Neutrons: 6, Electrons: 6, Atomic Mass: 12, Atomic Number: 6, Element Symbol: C, Element Name: Carbon, Ion: no, Charge: 0
2. Protons: 7, Neutrons: 7, Electrons: 7, Atomic Mass: 14, Atomic Number: 7, Element Symbol: N, Element Name: Nitrogen, Ion: no, Charge: 0
3. Protons: 6, Neutrons: 5, Electrons: 6, Atomic Mass: 11, Atomic Number: 6, Element Symbol: C, Element Name: Carbon, Ion: no, Charge: 0
4. Protons: 5, Neutrons: 5, Electrons: 5, Atomic Mass: 10, Atomic Number: 5, Element Symbol: B, Element Name: Boron, Ion: no, Charge: 0
