To solve the problem, we need to use the relationships between the fundamental particles of an atom:
1.
Atomic Number (Z): The number of protons in the nucleus.
2.
Protons: Equal to the atomic number.
3.
Electrons: Equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
4.
Neutrons: Calculated as \( \text{Neutrons} = \text{Atomic Mass (rounded)} - \text{Atomic Number} \).
5.
Atomic Mass: The weighted average mass of all isotopes of an element, rounded to the nearest tenth.
Let's fill in the table step by step for each element.
1. Nickel (Ni)
-
Atomic Number: From the periodic table or general knowledge, Nickel has an atomic number of 28.
-
Protons: Equal to the atomic number, so 28.
-
Neutrons: \( \text{Neutrons} = \text{Atomic Mass} - \text{Atomic Number} = 58.7 - 28 = 30.7 \approx 31 \).
-
Electrons: Equal to the number of protons, so 28.
Filled Row:
| Element | Symbol | Atomic Number | Atomic Mass | Proton | Neutron | Electron |
|---------|--------|---------------|-------------|--------|---------|----------|
| Nickel | Ni | 28 | 58.7 | 28 | 31 | 28 |
2. Gold (Au)
-
Atomic Number: Given as 79.
-
Protons: Equal to the atomic number, so 79.
-
Atomic Mass: Not given directly, but we can calculate it using the formula \( \text{Atomic Mass} = \text{Protons} + \text{Neutrons} = 79 + 118 = 197 \).
-
Electrons: Equal to the number of protons, so 79.
Filled Row:
| Element | Symbol | Atomic Number | Atomic Mass | Proton | Neutron | Electron |
|---------|--------|---------------|-------------|--------|---------|----------|
| Gold | Au | 79 | 197.0 | 79 | 118 | 79 |
3. Uranium-238 (U)
-
Atomic Number: From the periodic table or general knowledge, Uranium has an atomic number of 92.
-
Protons: Equal to the atomic number, so 92.
-
Atomic Mass: Given as 238 (since it is Uranium-238).
-
Neutrons: \( \text{Neutrons} = \text{Atomic Mass} - \text{Atomic Number} = 238 - 92 = 146 \).
-
Electrons: Equal to the number of protons, so 92.
Filled Row:
| Element | Symbol | Atomic Number | Atomic Mass | Proton | Neutron | Electron |
|---------|--------|---------------|-------------|--------|---------|----------|
| Uranium-238 | U | 92 | 238.0 | 92 | 146 | 92 |
4. Iodine (I)
-
Atomic Number: From the periodic table or general knowledge, Iodine has an atomic number of 53.
-
Protons: Equal to the atomic number, so 53.
-
Neutrons: \( \text{Neutrons} = \text{Atomic Mass} - \text{Atomic Number} = 126.9 - 53 = 73.9 \approx 74 \).
-
Electrons: Equal to the number of protons, so 53.
Filled Row:
| Element | Symbol | Atomic Number | Atomic Mass | Proton | Neutron | Electron |
|---------|--------|---------------|-------------|--------|---------|----------|
| Iodine | I | 53 | 126.9 | 53 | 74 | 53 |
5. Barium (Ba)
-
Atomic Number: Given as 56.
-
Protons: Equal to the atomic number, so 56.
-
Atomic Mass: Not given directly, but we can calculate it using the formula \( \text{Atomic Mass} = \text{Protons} + \text{Neutrons} = 56 + 81 = 137 \).
-
Electrons: Equal to the number of protons, so 56.
Filled Row:
| Element | Symbol | Atomic Number | Atomic Mass | Proton | Neutron | Electron |
|---------|--------|---------------|-------------|--------|---------|----------|
| Barium | Ba | 56 | 137.0 | 56 | 81 | 56 |
