Answer
Following are the formulae used while computing the table:
- Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
- Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
- Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons/electrons
= Mass number - Atomic number
-
First row:
i) Atomic number = 9 ,
Therefore, the number of protons = number of electrons = 9
ii) Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 9 + 10 = 19.
(iii) The atomic species having atomic number 9 is Fluorine.
-
Second row:
i) Atomic number = 16 ,
Therefore, the number of protons = number of electrons = 16
ii) Mass number - Number of protons = Number of neutrons
= 32 - 16 = 16
-
Third row:
i) Number of protons = 12
Therefore, Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number = 12
so the atomic number is 12 and the number of electrons is also 12.
ii) Mass number - Number of protons = Number of neutrons
= 24 - 12 = 12.
iii) The atomic species of atomic number 12 is Magnesium.
-
Fourth row:
i) Number of protons = 1 ,
So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number = 1
ii) Mass number - Number of protons = Number of neutrons
= 2 -1 = 1.
iii) The atomic species of atomic number 1 and mass number 2 is heavy Hydrogen or Deuterium.
-
Fifth row:
i) Number of protons = 1 ,
So, Number of protons = Atomic number = 1
ii) The atomic species of atomic number 1 and mass number 1 is ordinary Hydrogen.
But since Number of electrons = 0, it is Hydrogen ion H+.
Now, we can complete the table using the above calculations: -
