Answer:

The answers to your questions are given below

Step-by-step explanation:

For ¹⁴ ₆C:

Mass number = 14

Atomic number = 6

Proton = Atomic number

Proton = 6

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

14 = 6 + Neutron

Collect like terms

Neutron = 14 – 6

Neutron = 8

Charge = 0

Charge = Proton – Electron

0 = 6 – Electron

Collect like terms

0 – 6 = – Electron

– 6 = – Electron

Cancel the negative sign.

Electron = 6

For ³⁵ ₁₇Cl¯

Mass number = 35

Atomic number = 17

Proton = Atomic number

Proton = 17

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

35 = 17 + Neutron

Collect like terms

Neutron = 35 – 17

Neutron = 18

Charge = – 1

Charge = Proton – Electron

– 1 = 18 – Electron

Collect like terms

– 1 – 18 = – Electron

– 19 = – Electron

Cancel the negative sign.

Electron = 19

For ⁴⁰ ₂₀Ca

Mass number = 40

Atomic number = 20

Proton = Atomic number

Proton = 20

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

40 = 20 + Neutron

Collect like terms

Neutron = 40 – 20

Neutron = 20

Charge = 0

Charge = Proton – Electron

0 = 20 – Electron

Collect like terms

0 – 20 = – Electron

– 20 = – Electron

Cancel the negative sign.

Electron = 20
