Calculating Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Directions: Using the methods discussed in class, answer each of the following questions
to the best of you ability.

1. Using the periodic table of elements, how can we calculate the number of protons in
the nucleus of an atom?

Protons = Atomic #

2. Using the periodic table of elements, how can we calculate the number of electrons
in the atom?

Electrons = Atomic #

3. Using the periodic table of elements, how can we calculate the number of neutrons
in the nucleus of an atom?

Neutrons = Rounded Atomic Mass – Atomic Number

4. If you knew the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of a particular
element, how could you determine the atomic number of that element?

Atomic # = # Protons or # Electrons

5. If you knew the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of a particular
element, how could you calculate the mass number?

Mass # = # Protons + # Neutrons

6. If you knew the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of a particular element,
how could you determine the number of electrons in that element?

# Electrons = # Protons

7. If you knew the number of electrons and neutrons in an atom of a particular element,
how could you determine the number of protons in that element?

# Protons = # Electrons
8. Titanium’s Atomic Number is 22 and its Atomic Mass is 47.88. How many protons
can be found in the nucleus of a Titanium atom?

22

9. If there are 99 electrons and 155 neutrons in an atom of Einsteinium, how many
protons can be found in the nucleus of an atom of Einsteinium?

99

10. Radon’s Atomic Number is 86 and its Atomic Mass is 222. How many electrons can
be found in a Radon atom?

86

11. If there are 10 protons and 10 neutrons in an atom of Neon, how many electrons can
be found in an atom of Neon?

10

12. Oxygen’s Atomic Number is 8 and its Atomic Mass is 15.999. How many neutrons
can be found in the nucleus of an Oxygen atom?

13. Aluminum has 13 protons, 14 neutrons, and 13 electrons. What is the mass number
of Aluminum?

27

14. Krypton has 36 protons, 48 neutrons, and 36 electrons. What is the atomic number
of Krypton?

Short Answer
Directions: Answer each of the following questions using your knowledge of the material
discussed in class.

1. Briefly explain the contribution that each of the following scientist made to the
history of the atomic model.

Democritus-gave the atom its name

John Dalton- said all elements are made of atoms

J.J. Thompson- discovered the electron and compare the atom to plum
pudding.

Ernest Rutherford- discovered the nucleus.

 Niels Bohr- placed electrons in orbits around the nucleus

Erwin Schrödinger- created the modern model of the atom based on wave
mechanics.

2. Using the attached periodic table, write a YES in the blank if the elements are in the
same family/group. Write a NO in the blank if the elements are not in the same
family/group.
