To complete the chart, we need to determine the Atomic Number, Atomic Mass, Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons for each element. Here’s how we can do it step by step:
1.
Atomic Number: This is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It is also the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
2.
Atomic Mass: This is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
3.
Protons: This is the same as the Atomic Number.
4.
Neutrons: This is calculated by subtracting the Atomic Number from the Atomic Mass.
5.
Electrons: In a neutral atom, this is the same as the number of protons (Atomic Number).
Let's fill in the chart for each element:
-
Sn (Tin)
- Atomic Number: 50
- Atomic Mass: 118.71
- Protons: 50
- Neutrons: 118.71 - 50 = 68.71 (round to 69)
- Electrons: 50
-
Xe (Xenon)
- Atomic Number: 54
- Atomic Mass: 131.29
- Protons: 54
- Neutrons: 131.29 - 54 = 77.29 (round to 77)
- Electrons: 54
-
Zr (Zirconium)
- Atomic Number: 40
- Atomic Mass: 91.22
- Protons: 40
- Neutrons: 91.22 - 40 = 51.22 (round to 51)
- Electrons: 40
-
C (Carbon)
- Atomic Number: 6
- Atomic Mass: 12.01
- Protons: 6
- Neutrons: 12.01 - 6 = 6.01 (round to 6)
- Electrons: 6
-
S (Sulfur)
- Atomic Number: 16
- Atomic Mass: 32.07
- Protons: 16
- Neutrons: 32.07 - 16 = 16.07 (round to 16)
- Electrons: 16
-
Ar (Argon)
- Atomic Number: 18
- Atomic Mass: 39.95
- Protons: 18
- Neutrons: 39.95 - 18 = 21.95 (round to 22)
- Electrons: 18
-
Ag (Silver)
- Atomic Number: 47
- Atomic Mass: 107.87
- Protons: 47
- Neutrons: 107.87 - 47 = 60.87 (round to 61)
- Electrons: 47
-
Li (Lithium)
- Atomic Number: 3
- Atomic Mass: 6.94
- Protons: 3
- Neutrons: 6.94 - 3 = 3.94 (round to 4)
- Electrons: 3
-
U (Uranium)
- Atomic Number: 92
- Atomic Mass: 238.03
- Protons: 92
- Neutrons: 238.03 - 92 = 146.03 (round to 146)
- Electrons: 92
Final Answer:
| Symbol | Atomic Number | Atomic Mass | Protons | Neutrons | Electrons |
|--------|---------------|-------------|---------|----------|-----------|
| Sn | 50 | 118.71 | 50 | 69 | 50 |
| Xe | 54 | 131.29 | 54 | 77 | 54 |
| Zr | 40 | 91.22 | 40 | 51 | 40 |
| C | 6 | 12.01 | 6 | 6 | 6 |
| S | 16 | 32.07 | 16 | 16 | 16 |
| Ar | 18 | 39.95 | 18 | 22 | 18 |
| Ag | 47 | 107.87 | 47 | 61 | 47 |
| Li | 3 | 6.94 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
| U | 92 | 238.03 | 92 | 146 | 92 |
