Question

building atoms
complete the table for the given element. then, build the atom by dragging the correct
number of protons, neutrons, and electrons to their correct location on the diagram.
build it!
element nitrogen
symbol/
abbreviation
atomic number
atomic mass

of protons

of neutrons

of electrons

Explanation:

Step1: Find the symbol/abbreviation

Nitrogen's symbol is \(N\).

Step2: Determine the atomic number

From the periodic table, nitrogen's atomic number (\(Z\)) is \(7\).

Step3: Find the atomic mass

Nitrogen's atomic mass (\(A\)) is approximately \(14\).

Step4: Calculate the number of neutrons

Using the formula \(N = A - Z\), \(N=14 - 7=7\).

Step5: Determine the number of electrons

For a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Since \(Z = 7\), the number of electrons is \(7\).

Answer:

ELEMENT	NITROGEN
ATOMIC NUMBER	\(7\)
ATOMIC MASS	\(14\)
# OF PROTONS	\(7\)
# OF NEUTRONS	\(7\)
# OF ELECTRONS	\(7\)
