Explanation of Solution
All the elements are assigned a letter symbol from their name. The symbol is the first or first two letters from the name of the element.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its atom.
The mass number of the element is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom.
The protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of the atom and electrons revolve around the nucleus. The number of electrons and protons are equal in a neutral atom as the electrons and protons are charged bodies.
To complete the given table, the points given above are to be considered.
For the case (a), the data given is the
So,
The symbol
The number of neutrons is calculated by the formula given below.
Substitute the given values in the above formula.
Hence, carbon with element symbol
For the case (b) the data given is its mass number
So, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons in the atom. This atom has
The number of neutrons can be calculated by the formula given below.
Substitute the given values in the formula below.
So, the element is phosphorus as its atomic number is
For the case (c), the data given is its number of neutrons
So, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons in the atom. This atom has
Its number of neutrons is
Substitute the given values in the above formula
So, the element is zinc as its atomic number is
For the case (d), the data given is the symbol of element
So, the symbol
The number of neutrons can be calculated by the formula given below.
Substitute the given values in the above formula.
So, the magnesium element with symbol
For the case (e), the data given is its number of neutrons
So, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons in the atom. This atom has
Its atomic number is
Substitute the given values in the above formula
So the element is iodine as its atomic number is
For the case (f), the data given is its atomic number
So, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons in the atom. Its atomic number is
The mass number of the element can be calculated by the formula given below.
Substitute the given values in the formula below.
So the element is beryllium as its atomic number is
protons and neutrons. Its atomic number is
and mass number is
