Answer:

you subtract the mass number by the atomic number

or referring to the Periodic Table, the smaller number out of the two numbers would be the number of protons in that part. atom

it is listed in the atomic number of the element, or you can subtract the number of neutrons from the average atomic mass to get the number. i hope this helps!!
