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

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