Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3. The number of electrons and neutrons in an atom are 13 and 14, respectively. Find out the mass number, atomic number, valency, and symbol of the element.

For a neutral atom. number of protons =number of electrons=13

so since atomic number is the number of protons =13

mass number = protons + neutons =14+13 = 27

atomic number 13 is Aluminum (AL-(see periodic table)

The electronic structure for 13 electrons is 1s2s2p63s23p1

so Al has 3 electrons which are VALIENT and can react and when it loses the 3 it will have CHARGE OF +3
