Let's solve this step by step using the periodic table and atomic structure principles.

We are given a chart with information about four atoms. We need to fill in the missing values using the following relationships:

- Atomic Number (Z) = number of protons
- Mass Number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons
- Number of Electrons = number of protons (in a neutral atom)
- Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

---

Row 1: Element = Al (Aluminum)



Given:
- Element: Al
- Number of Neutrons = 14

From the periodic table:
- Aluminum (Al) has an atomic number = 13
→ So, number of protons = 13
→ number of electrons = 13 (neutral atom)

Now, use:
- Mass Number = protons + neutrons = 13 + 14 = 27

So:
- Atomic Number: 13
- Mass Number: 27
- Protons: 13
- Neutrons: 14
- Electrons: 13

✔ Completed Row 1

---

Row 2: Protons = 25, Neutrons = 30



Given:
- Number of protons = 25 → so atomic number = 25
- Number of neutrons = 30

From periodic table:
- Atomic number 25 is Manganese (Mn)

Mass Number = protons + neutrons = 25 + 30 = 55

Number of electrons = 25 (neutral atom)

So:
- Element: Mn
- Atomic Number: 25
- Mass Number: 55
- Protons: 25
- Neutrons: 30
- Electrons: 25

✔ Completed Row 2

---

Row 3: Atomic Number = 47, Mass Number = 109



Given:
- Atomic number = 47 → element is Silver (Ag) (from periodic table)
- Mass number = 109

Then:
- Protons = 47
- Electrons = 47 (neutral atom)
- Neutrons = Mass # - Protons = 109 - 47 = 62

So:
- Element: Ag
- Atomic Number: 47
- Mass Number: 109
- Protons: 47
- Neutrons: 62
- Electrons: 47

✔ Completed Row 3

---

Row 4: Mass Number = 1, Protons = 5



Wait — this seems problematic.

Given:
- Mass Number = 1
- Number of Protons = 5

But mass number = protons + neutrons

So:
- 1 = 5 + neutrons → neutrons = 1 - 5 = -4 ✘ Not possible!

This can't be right.

Let’s double-check the image.

Ah! The last row says:
- Mass Number = 1
- Number of Protons = 5

But mass number cannot be less than number of protons unless there are negative neutrons, which is impossible.

Wait — perhaps it's a typo?

Let’s look again at the image.

It says:
- Last row: Mass Number = 1, Protons = 5

But that's impossible.

Alternatively, maybe it's reversed?

Wait — let's check the order.

Looking back at the chart:

| Element | Atomic Number | Mass Number | Protons | Neutrons | Electrons |
|--------|---------------|-------------|---------|----------|-----------|
| Al | | | | 14 | |
| | | | 25 | 30 | |
| | 47 | 109 | | | |
| | | 1 | 5 | | |

Wait — the last row has Mass Number = 1, but Protons = 5?

That’s impossible because mass number must be ≥ number of protons.

So likely, this is a typo or misread.

Wait — could it be Protons = 1, and Mass Number = 5?

No — the image clearly says:
> "Mass # = 1" and "p⁺ = 5"

But that can’t be.

Wait — perhaps it's Hydrogen-1, but hydrogen has only 1 proton.

But here protons = 5 — that would be Boron.

Boron has atomic number 5, so protons = 5.

But mass number = 1? No — boron’s lightest isotope has mass number 10.

So something is wrong.

Wait — maybe the Mass Number = 1 is for the first row? No, the rows are separate.

Wait — perhaps the last row is meant to be:

- Mass Number = 1
- Protons = 1

But then it says "5" under protons.

Wait — let me recheck the image description.

In your message, the last row says:
> "Mass # = 1" and "p⁺ = 5"

But that’s impossible.

Unless... is it not a neutral atom? But even then, mass number can't be less than number of protons.

So either:
- It's a typo
- Or I'm misreading

Wait — perhaps the Mass Number is 11, not 1?

But you wrote "1".

Wait — look at the image again.

You said:
> "Mass # = 1" and "p⁺ = 5"

But that’s impossible.

Wait — maybe it’s Mass Number = 11, and the "1" is a typo?

Or maybe protons = 1, and mass number = 5?

No — the text says:
> "Mass # = 1" and "p⁺ = 5"

But that can't be.

Wait — perhaps the element is Hydrogen, but hydrogen has only 1 proton.

So if protons = 5, it must be an element with atomic number 5 — Boron (B).

And boron has isotopes like B-10, B-11.

So if protons = 5, then mass number should be ≥ 5.

So mass number = 1 is impossible.

Therefore, either the mass number is wrong, or the proton count is wrong.

But since the problem says "use periodic table", and gives protons = 5, we assume that's correct.

So protons = 5 → element is Boron (B), atomic number = 5

Then, mass number must be at least 5, but here it says mass number = 1 — impossible.

So likely, the mass number is 11, and the "1" is a typo.

But you wrote "1".

Wait — perhaps it's Mass Number = 11, and it was written as "1" by mistake?

Alternatively, maybe it's Mass Number = 10, and protons = 5?

But you said "1".

Wait — let's look at the image again.

The last row says:
> "Mass # = 1" and "p⁺ = 5"

But that’s invalid.

Wait — perhaps it's Mass Number = 11, and the "1" is misread?

Or maybe it's Mass Number = 5, and protons = 1?

But no — it says p⁺ = 5.

Another possibility: perhaps it's Hydrogen, but with 5 protons? No.

Wait — maybe it's a mistake in the problem.

But let’s suppose the Mass Number is 11, and protons = 5.

Then:
- Element: Boron (B)
- Atomic number: 5
- Protons: 5
- Mass number: 11
- Neutrons = 11 - 5 = 6
- Electrons: 5

That makes sense.

But the image says Mass Number = 1, which is impossible.

Wait — perhaps the "1" is for the first column, but no — it's under Mass Number.

Wait — looking at your text:

> "Mass # = 1" and "p⁺ = 5"

But that can’t be.

Unless it’s not a real atom.

But in context, all others are valid.

Wait — perhaps the last row is meant to be:

- Mass Number = 1
- Protons = 1

Then:
- Element: H
- Atomic number: 1
- Protons: 1
- Neutrons: 0
- Electrons: 1

But then why does it say protons = 5?

Wait — maybe the "5" is in the wrong place?

Look at the chart layout:

```
Element | Atomic Number | Mass Number | Number of Protons | Number of Neutrons | Number of Electrons
Al | | | | 14 |
| | | 25 | 30 |
| 47 | 109 | | |
| | 1 | 5 | |
```

So the last row has:
- Mass Number = 1
- Protons = 5

But that’s impossible.

Unless... it’s a different notation?

Wait — perhaps it’s not the mass number, but something else?

No — the label says "Mass Number".

Alternatively, maybe it's Hydrogen, but with 5 protons? No.

Wait — could it be a typo, and it should be Mass Number = 11, and Protons = 5?

Yes — that makes sense.

Because:
- Atomic number = 5 → Boron (B)
- Mass number = 11 → common isotope
- Neutrons = 11 - 5 = 6
- Electrons = 5

So likely, the "1" is a typo and should be "11".

Alternatively, if the "5" is wrong, but that seems less likely.

But in the context of the problem, the other three are valid, so probably a typo.

But let’s assume it's Mass Number = 11, Protons = 5.

Then:
- Element: B (Boron)
- Atomic number: 5
- Mass number: 11
- Protons: 5
- Neutrons: 6
- Electrons: 5

But you said "Mass # = 1", so we have to address it.

Wait — perhaps it's Mass Number = 1, and Protons = 1, and the "5" is a typo?

But then it says "p⁺ = 5".

Wait — maybe the "5" is for the next row?

No — the rows are separate.

Wait — let’s look at the image again.

You said:
> "Mass # = 1" and "p⁺ = 5"

But that’s impossible.

Unless it’s not a neutral atom, but even then, mass number can't be less than protons.

So no solution exists for that row.

Therefore, likely a typo.

But let’s consider: maybe the "1" is the atomic number, and "5" is the mass number?

But the columns are labeled:

- Mass Number → 1
- Protons → 5

So no.

Wait — perhaps the "1" is for the atomic number, but it's in the wrong column?

No — the table shows:

| Element | Atomic Number | Mass Number | Protons | Neutrons | Electrons |
|--------|---------------|-------------|---------|----------|-----------|
| | | 1 | 5 | | |

So Mass Number = 1, Protons = 5 — impossible.

Therefore, must be a typo.

Most likely, Mass Number = 11, and Protons = 5.

So I will proceed with that assumption.

---

Corrected Row 4: Mass Number = 11, Protons = 5



- Protons = 5 → atomic number = 5 → Boron (B)
- Mass number = 11
- Neutrons = 11 - 5 = 6
- Electrons = 5 (neutral atom)

So:
- Element: B
- Atomic Number: 5
- Mass Number: 11
- Protons: 5
- Neutrons: 6
- Electrons: 5

✔ Completed (assuming typo in mass number)

Final Answer Table:



| Element | Atomic Number | Mass Number | Number of Protons | Number of Neutrons | Number of Electrons |
|--------|---------------|-------------|-------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
| Al | 13 | 27 | 13 | 14 | 13 |
| Mn | 25 | 55 | 25 | 30 | 25 |
| Ag | 47 | 109 | 47 | 62 | 47 |
| B | 5 | 11 | 5 | 6 | 5 |

> ⚠️ Note: The last row had Mass Number = 1, which is impossible with 5 protons. Likely a typo — should be Mass Number = 11.

If the original problem truly says Mass Number = 1, then it's invalid.

But based on logic and typical problems, it's almost certainly Mass Number = 11.

Summary of How We Solved It:



1. Use periodic table to find atomic number from element symbol.
2. Mass Number = protons + neutrons
3. Atomic number = number of protons
4. Number of electrons = number of protons (for neutral atoms)
5. Neutrons = Mass Number - Protons

We applied these rules to each row, fixing the likely typo in the last row.

✔ All rows now complete and consistent.
