Question

An atom has 13 protons, 14 neutrons, and 10 electrons. What element is this atom? How did you determine which element it was?

Answer 1

The element is Aluminum. I determined the element by looking at the number of protons. Since the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, I looked on the periodic table and searched for the element with an atomic number of 13 which gave me my answer of aluminum.
