Here's the solution to the questions:

  • Particles found within an atom and their charge:

    • Protons: Positive charge (+1)
    • Neutrons: No charge (0)
    • Electrons: Negative charge (-1)
  • The atomic structure below was established by learners:

    • The diagram shows an atom with:
      • 2 electrons in the first shell.
      • 8 electrons in the second shell.
      • 2 electrons in the third (outermost) shell.
    • Total number of electrons = 2+8+2=122 + 8 + 2 = 12 electrons.
    • In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons (atomic number).
    • Therefore, the atomic number of this atom is 12.
    • The element with atomic number 12 is Magnesium.

The structure represents an atom of: Magnesium\boxed{\text{Magnesium}}
