Step-by-step solution for: Using The Periodic Table Of Elements Sheet 1 Worksheet
Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a worksheet with 9 boxes (3 rows × 3 columns). Each box is for one element, and we need to fill in missing info using the periodic table and basic atomic structure rules:
Rules to remember:
- Atomic Number = number of protons = number of electrons (in a neutral atom)
- Atomic Mass ≈ protons + neutrons → so neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number
- Round atomic mass to nearest whole number if needed
- Symbol is the standard chemical symbol (e.g., H for Hydrogen, Hg for Mercury)
---
Box 1: Hydrogen (given)
- Name: Hydrogen
- # of protons: 1 → so atomic number = 1
- # of neutrons: 0 → so atomic mass = 1 + 0 = 1
- Symbol: H
- # of electrons: same as protons → 1
✔ Already filled correctly.

Box 2: Symbol = Hg
Hg is Mercury.
From periodic table:
- Atomic number of Hg = 80 → so protons = 80, electrons = 80
- Atomic mass of Hg ≈ 200.59 → round to 201
- Neutrons = 201 - 80 = 121
So:
Name: Mercury
Atomic Number: 80
Atomic Mass: 201
Symbol: Hg
# of protons: 80
# of electrons: 80
# of neutrons: 121
---
Box 3: # of electrons = 19
In neutral atom, electrons = protons = atomic number → atomic number = 19
Element with atomic number 19 is Potassium → symbol K
Atomic mass of K ≈ 39.10 → round to 39
Neutrons = 39 - 19 = 20
So:
Name: Potassium
Atomic Number: 19
Atomic Mass: 39
Symbol: K
# of protons: 19
# of electrons: 19
# of neutrons: 20
---
Box 4: Atomic Mass = 35, # of neutrons = 18
Neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number → 18 = 35 - atomic number → atomic number = 35 - 18 = 17
Element with atomic number 17 is Chlorine → symbol Cl
Protons = 17, electrons = 17
So:
Name: Chlorine
Atomic Number: 17
Atomic Mass: 35
Symbol: Cl
# of protons: 17
# of electrons: 17
# of neutrons: 18
---
Box 5: # of protons = 2
Atomic number = 2 → Helium → symbol He
Atomic mass of He ≈ 4.00 → round to 4
Neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2
Electrons = 2
So:
Name: Helium
Atomic Number: 2
Atomic Mass: 4
Symbol: He
# of protons: 2
# of electrons: 2
# of neutrons: 2
---
Box 6: # of electrons = 4
→ atomic number = 4 → Beryllium → symbol Be
Atomic mass of Be ≈ 9.01 → round to 9
Neutrons = 9 - 4 = 5
Protons = 4
So:
Name: Beryllium
Atomic Number: 4
Atomic Mass: 9
Symbol: Be
# of protons: 4
# of electrons: 4
# of neutrons: 5
---
Box 7: Symbol = S
S is Sulfur.
Atomic number of S = 16 → protons = 16, electrons = 16
Atomic mass of S ≈ 32.07 → round to 32
Neutrons = 32 - 16 = 16
So:
Name: Sulfur
Atomic Number: 16
Atomic Mass: 32
Symbol: S
# of protons: 16
# of electrons: 16
# of neutrons: 16
---
Box 8: # of protons = 9
Atomic number = 9 → Fluorine → symbol F
Atomic mass of F ≈ 19.00 → round to 19
Neutrons = 19 - 9 = 10
Electrons = 9
So:
Name: Fluorine
Atomic Number: 9
Atomic Mass: 19
Symbol: F
# of protons: 9
# of electrons: 9
# of neutrons: 10
---
Box 9: Atomic Number = 29
Element with atomic number 29 is Copper → symbol Cu
Atomic mass of Cu ≈ 63.55 → round to 64
Neutrons = 64 - 29 = 35
Protons = 29, electrons = 29
So:
Name: Copper
Atomic Number: 29
Atomic Mass: 64
Symbol: Cu
# of protons: 29
# of electrons: 29
# of neutrons: 35
