Answer 1

Neon

Step-by-step explanation:

A proton is the positively charged particle in the atom. The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons present in the atom while the mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

If an extra proton is added to 19F, then neon is formed.
