Step-by-step solution for: Solved Subatomic Particles Practice Sheet Fill in the blanks ...
Let's solve this step by step. We need to fill in the missing values in the table using the relationships between atomic number, protons, neutrons, and atomic mass.
- Atomic Number (Z) = number of protons
- Number of Protons = Atomic Number
- Number of Neutrons = Atomic Mass – Atomic Number
- Atomic Mass (A) = Protons + Neutrons
- Atomic Symbol: Use periodic table to identify element based on atomic number
---
We will go row by row and fill in the blanks.
---
- Atomic Symbol: B (Boron)
- Atomic Number: ?
→ Boron has atomic number 5
- Protons: ? → Same as atomic number → 5
- Neutrons: 6
- Atomic Mass: ? → Protons + Neutrons = 5 + 6 = 11
✔ So:
Atomic Number = 5, Protons = 5, Atomic Mass = 11
---
- Atomic Number: 12
- Protons: 12 (same as atomic number)
- Neutrons: ?
- Atomic Mass: 25
- Atomic Symbol: ? → Element with atomic number 12 is Mg (Magnesium)
→ Neutrons = Atomic Mass – Protons = 25 – 12 = 13
✔ So:
Atomic Symbol = Mg, Neutrons = 13
---
- Atomic Number: 31
- Protons: 31
- Neutrons: 37
- Atomic Mass: ? → 31 + 37 = 68

Atomic Symbol = Ga, Atomic Mass = 68
---
- Atomic Number: ?
- Protons: 43
- Neutrons: ?
- Atomic Mass: 100
- Atomic Symbol: ?
→ Protons = 43 → Atomic Number = 43 → Element is Tc (Technetium)
