n =

Explanation:

Step1: Fill in Boron's core values

For boron (B):

• Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons = 5
• Atomic mass (most common isotope, B-11) = 11
• Number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number = $11 - 5 = 6$

So, $p=5$, $n=6$ for boron's nucleus.

Step2: Fill in Carbon's core values

For carbon (C):

• Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons = 6
• Atomic mass (most common isotope, C-12) = 12
• Number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number = $12 - 6 = 6$

So, $p=6$, $n=6$ for carbon's nucleus.

Answer:

Boron Table:

Category	Value
Atomic Mass	11
Number of Protons	5
Number of Electrons	5
Number of Neutrons	6

Boron nucleus: $p=5$, $n=6$

Carbon Table:

Category	Value
Atomic Mass	12
Number of Protons	6
Number of Electrons	6
Number of Neutrons	6

Carbon nucleus: $p=6$, $n=6$
