Understand the Problem

The question is asking to complete a table that includes the number of protons, neutrons, nucleon numbers, and names of elements based on provided information about atoms. This involves understanding the definitions of proton and nucleon numbers and applying that knowledge to fill in the table.

Answer

Use protons, neutrons, nucleon numbers, and periodic table to identify elements: Mg, Na, C, Ar, Ca, K, Al, Si, P.

The completed table is:

  • A: 1 proton, 0 neutrons, hydrogen (H)
  • B: 12 protons, 12 neutrons, magnesium (Mg)
  • C: 11 protons, 12 neutrons, sodium (Na)
  • D: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, carbon (C)
  • E: 18 protons, 22 neutrons, argon (Ar)
  • F: 20 protons, 20 neutrons, calcium (Ca)
  • G: 19 protons, 20 neutrons, potassium (K)
  • H: 13 protons, 14 neutrons, aluminum (Al)
  • I: 14 protons, 14 neutrons, silicon (Si)
  • J: 15 protons, 16 neutrons, phosphorus (P)

More Information

Elements are identified using the atomic number (protons) and the nucleon number (protons + neutrons). Each element has unique properties determined by these numbers.

Tips

Always ensure the atomic number matches the element name in the periodic table.
