Siven an element's atomic number and mass number, how can you tell the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus?

Jumber of protons = atomic number; number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

Number of protons = atomic number; number of neutrons = mass number + atomic number

Number of protons = mass number; number of neutrons = atomic number - mass number

    Number of protons = atomic number; number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

    Explanation:

    Z = atomic number = number of protons

    A = mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

    Mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons

    Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
