(a) No. of protons = atomic number = 7

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 7

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 6

(b) No. of protons = atomic number = 16

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 16

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 19

(c) No. of protons = atomic number = 29

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 29

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 34

(d) No. of protons = atomic number = 38

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 38

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 51

Explanation:

No. of protons = No. of electrons = atomic number

No. of neutrons = Mass no. - atomic no.

(a) 13 N 7

Here atomic number is 7, mass number is 13

No. of protons = atomic number = 7

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 7

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 13 - 7 = 6

(b) 35 S 16

Here atomic number is 16, mass number is 35

No. of protons = atomic number = 16

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 16

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 35 - 16 = 19

(c) 63 Cu 29

Here atomic number is 29, mass number is 63

No. of protons = atomic number = 29

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 29

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 63 - 29 = 34

(d) 89 Sr 38

Here atomic number is 38, mass number is 89

No. of protons = atomic number = 38

No. of electrons = no. of protons = 38

No. of neutrons = mass no. - atomic no. = 89 - 38 = 51
