Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The periodic table shows the atomic number and mass number of each element.

We know that the atomic number shows;

  1. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom
  2. The number of electrons in the neutral atom of the element.

So we obtain the number of protons and electrons by looking at the atomic number shown in the periodic table.

We also know that;

Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Since number of protons = atomic number of the atom

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Hence we obtain the number of protons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number given in the periodic table.
