How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does a neutral atom of this element have? (round atomic mass to nearest whole number)

The element is "AI"

Protons: 13 Neutrons: 14 Electrons: 13


Protons: 14 Neutrons: 27 Electrons: 13


Protons: 27 Neutrons: 13 Electrons: 14


Protons: 13 Neutrons: 13 Electrons: 13

Answer 1

Aluminum

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Aluminum has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 protons. In its natural state, it does not have a charge, so it has an equal amount of electrons, 13. The atomic mass of aluminum is approximately 27. Since protons and neutrons make up that mass, and each of the particles are around 1 atomic mass unit, if there are 13 protons, then there are 27-13 neutrons, or 14 neutrons. So the first answer choice is correct.
