Complete the chart:
Name of the element | Symbol of the element | Atomic number | Mass number | No. of protons | No. of electrons | No. of neutrons | Electronic configuration | ||
Argon | 40 | 18 | K = 2 | L = 8 | M = 8 |
Identify the chemical symbol of Argon:
The chemical symbol Argon is Ar.
Calculate the atomic number:
Atomic number = Number of electrons
Thus,
Atomic number = 18
Calculate the number of neutrons:
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Mass of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
