Question

Find A, B, and C

Number of protons=A
Number of Neutrons=7
Atomic Number=b
Mass number=15
Element Symbol=C
~Please provide explanation~

Answer 1

Electrons = protons
protons = atomic number
protons + neutrons = atomic mass

Therefore: a) protons + 7 = 15
protons= 15 -7
protons= 8

B) Remember proton = atomic number
so atomic number = 8

C)Now we know the atomic number so we can easily check on the periodic table what element has an atomic number of 8, which is Oxygen
