Question

19. If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and a

mass number of 14, how many protons,
electrons, and neutrons are in the atom?

Answer 1

protons: 6

electrons: 6

neutrons: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

atomic number -> number of protons -> 6

mass number -> number of protons + number of neutrons

so 14-6 = 8. 8 neutrons

this atom is neutral (net charge is 0), so the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons, which is 6
