    no. of protons = 39

    atomic number = number of protons = 39

    number of neutrons = 51

    element is Yttrium

    Explanation:

    given dа ta:

    number of electron is 39

    mass of atom is 90

    We know that atoms are neutral because + ve charged protons is equal to no of - ve charged electrons.

    we know that:

    atomic number is equal to number of protons,

    and atomic mass is the summation of no. of protons and no. of neutrons

    number of protons = number of electrons

    from the data given:

    a) No. of protons = 39 (since number of electrons = protons)

    b) atomic number = number of protons = 39

    c) number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number

    = 90 - 39

    = 51

    d) element is Yttrium
