    Answer: proton number = 16

    Electron number = 16

    Neutron number = 16

    Explanation: Mass number = 32

    Atomic number = 16

    atomic number = proton number = 16.

    Since the atom is neutral, proton number is the same as electron number i. e Electron number = proton number = 16

    Mass number = proton + Neutron

    32 = 16 + Neutron

    Neutron = 32 - 16 = 16
