    Simple. The atomic number is the number of protons (12) and the mass number is the number of neutrons and protons combined. So you'd subtract 12 from 25 (25-12=) and that'd get you 13 as your answer. If you need to find the number of electrons, it'll be the same as the number of protons unless it has a certain charge and if it does, if it's positive it has more protons (+) than electrons (-), if it is negative it has more electrons ( - negatively charged) than protons ( + positively charged)
