Work Step by Step

Formula reminder Protons = Z Neutrons = A − Z Electrons (neutral atom) = Z a. Z = 10, A = 20 Element: Atomic number 10 → Neon Symbol: Ne Protons: 10 Neutrons: 20 − 10 = 10 Electrons: 10 b. Z = 13, A = 27 Element: Atomic number 13 → Aluminum Symbol: Al Protons: 13 Neutrons: 27 − 13 = 14 Electrons: 13 c. Z = 38, A = 88 Element: Atomic number 38 → Strontium Symbol: Sr Protons: 38 Neutrons: 88 − 38 = 50 Electrons: 38 d. Z = 55, A = 133 Element: Atomic number 55 → Cesium Symbol: Cs Protons: 55 Neutrons: 133 − 55 = 78 Electrons: 55 e. Z = 28, A = 59 Element: Atomic number 28 → Nickel Symbol: Ni Protons: 28 Neutrons: 59 − 28 = 31 Electrons: 28 f. Z = 79, A = 197 Element: Atomic number 79 → Gold Symbol: Au Protons: 79 Neutrons: 197 − 79 = 118 Electrons: 79
