4. Copy and complete the table below:

Element/ionNo of protonNo of electronNo of neutronAtomic mass
X-9101019
Y2+20182040
P+11101223
Q-17181835
  • Explanation for table completion:
    • X-: Given 10 electrons and 10 neutrons. Since it's X-, it has 1 more electron than protons. So, protons = 10 - 1 = 9. Atomic mass = protons + neutrons = 9 + 10 = 19.
    • Y2+: Given 20 protons and 20 neutrons. Since it's Y2+, it has 2 fewer electrons than protons. So, electrons = 20 - 2 = 18. Atomic mass = protons + neutrons = 20 + 20 = 40.
    • P+: Given 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Since it's P+, it has 1 fewer electron than protons. So, electrons = 11 - 1 = 10. Atomic mass = protons + neutrons = 11 + 12 = 23.
    • Q-: Given 17 protons and atomic mass 35. Neutrons = Atomic mass - protons = 35 -
