Question
atomic structure
an atom is made up of protons and neutrons (both found in the nucleus) and electrons (in the surrounding electron cloud). the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
the mass number is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. in a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. the charge on an ion indicates an imbalance between protons and electrons. too many electrons produces a negative charge, too few, a positive charge.
this structure can be written as part of a chemical symbol.
example: mass number charge
15n+3 7 protons
8 neutrons (15 - 7)
4 electrons
atomic number
complete the following chart.

Step1: Recall atomic structure rules
Atomic number = number of protons. Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. For neutral atoms, number of protons = number of electrons. For ions, adjust electrons based on charge.
Step2: Analyze H
Atomic number of H is 1. Mass number is 1. Protons = 1, Neutrons = 1 - 1=0, Electrons = 1 (neutral atom).
Step3: Analyze H+
Atomic number is 1. Mass number is 1. Protons = 1, Neutrons = 0, Electrons = 1 - 1 = 0 (lost 1 electron for +1 charge).
Step4: Analyze $_{6}^{12}C$
Atomic number is 6. Mass number is 12. Protons = 6, Neutrons = 12 - 6 = 6, Electrons = 6 (neutral atom).
Step5: Analyze $_{3}^{7}Li^{+}$
Atomic number is 3. Mass number is 7. Protons = 3, Neutrons = 7 - 3 = 4, Electrons = 3 - 1 = 2 (lost 1 electron for +1 charge).
Step6: Analyze $_{17}^{35}Cl^{-}$
Atomic number is 17. Mass number is 35. Protons = 17, Neutrons = 35 - 17 = 18, Electrons = 17+1 = 18 (gained 1 electron for - 1 charge).
Step7: Analyze $_{19}^{39}K$
Atomic number is 19. Mass number is 39. Protons = 19, Neutrons = 39 - 19 = 20, Electrons = 19 (neutral atom).
Step8: Analyze $_{12}^{24}Mg^{2 + }$
Atomic number is 12. Mass number is 24. Protons = 12, Neutrons = 24 - 12 = 12, Electrons = 12 - 2 = 10 (lost 2 electrons for +2 charge).
Step9: Analyze $As^{3 - }$
Assume atomic number of As is 33 (from periodic - table). Mass number not given, assume average atomic mass ≈ 75. Protons = 33, Neutrons = 75 - 33 = 42, Electrons = 33+3 = 36 (gained 3 electrons for - 3 charge).
Step10: Analyze Ag
Assume atomic number of Ag is 47 (from periodic - table). Mass number not given, assume average atomic mass ≈ 108. Protons = 47, Neutrons = 108 - 47 = 61, Electrons = 47 (neutral atom).
Step11: Analyze $Ag^{+}$
Atomic number is 47. Mass number is 108. Protons = 47, Neutrons = 61, Electrons = 47 - 1 = 46 (lost 1 electron for +1 charge).
Step12: Analyze $S^{2 - }$
Atomic number of S is 16. Mass number not given, assume average atomic mass ≈ 32. Protons = 16, Neutrons = 32 - 16 = 16, Electrons = 16+2 = 18 (gained 2 electrons for - 2 charge).
Step13: Analyze U
Assume atomic number of U is 92 (from periodic - table). Mass number not given, assume average atomic mass ≈ 238. Protons = 92, Neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146, Electrons = 92 (neutral atom).
