The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom of an element.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons ⇒ neutral number
Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons
Atomic Number (Z) = Atomic mass (A) - Number of Neutrons
Atomic mass = 18
Atomic number = 8 , gain 2 electron ⇒ total 10 electrons
Configuration : 1s², 2s², 2p⁶ (10 electrons)
Neutrons : 18 - 8 = 10
Atomic mass = 19
Atomic number = 9 , gain 1 electron ⇒ total 10 electrons
Configuration : 1s², 2s², 2p⁶ (10 electrons)
Neutrons : 19 - 9 = 10
Atomic mass = 20
Atomic number = 10
Configuration : 1s², 2s², 2p⁶ (10 electrons)
Neutrons : 20 - 10 = 10
