Practice: Periodic Table

The number of protons in an atom is determined by:

• the atomic number

• the mass number

• the number of neutrons

• the number of electrons

The number of neutrons in an atom is determined by:

• Subtracting the atomic number from the mass number

• Adding the atomic number and the mass number

• Dividing the mass number by the atomic number

• Multiplying the atomic number by the mass number

The number of electrons is determined by which of the following?

• The atomic number of the element

• The mass number of the element

• The number of neutrons in the nucleus

• The number of protons and neutrons combined

Match the following

• sum of protons and neutrons

• electrons

• neutral charge, # makes isotopes

• atomic mass

• element with different neutron numbers

• isotope

• determines the element identity

• proton

• negative charge found in the cloud

• nuetrons
