Expert Solution
Step 1

Since we know that in any elements at neutral state 

Number of electrons = Number of protons = Atomic number of elements 

And In any elements only electrons are shared i.e gain or loss of only electron occurs because electron remains in the outer most orbit .

And  protons and neutrons are remains in nucleolus so they are not changed .

Also 

Number of proton +Number of neutrons = Mass number of elements
