# of protons is same as the atomic number of an elements. Note: Round off atomic mass

 0– 4 must remain as it is
Ex. Platinum atomic # = 78 ; # of protons = 78
Ex. 195.085 195
# of neutron is the difference between the mass number of an
 5 – 9 add 1 (+1)
atom and the atomic number
Ex. 83.54 84
Ex. Mass # = 195, Atomic # = 78  A shorthand notation for isotope includes the

# of neutrons = 195 – 78 = 117 element’s symbol and mass number.

Ex. Pt-195
# of electrons is equal/same as the number of protons

Ex. # of protons = 78 ; # of electrons = 78

Direction: Fill in the table of the appropriate answers. Used Periodic Table of elements.
