Question

1. The atomic number of an element is 23 and its mass number is 56.

a. How many protons and electrons does an atom of this element have?
b. How many neutrons does this atom have?

Answer 1

23 protons, 23 electrons, 33 neutrons

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know why my answer got deleted but no worries, I can answer again. The number of protons and electrons is equal to the atomic number which is 23 and the number of neutrons is 56 - 23 = 33 because atomic mass denotes the number of protons and neutrons.
