Question
The image displays a table for determining the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of given isotopes. 

**Instruction:**
For each of the following species, determine the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus:

**Table:**
- **Column Headers:**
  - Isotopes
  - Protons
  - Neutrons

- **Rows:**
  1. Isotope: \( ^3_2\text{He} \)
     - Protons: [ ]
     - Neutrons: [ ]

  2. Isotope: \( ^{79}_{35}\text{Br} \)
     - Protons: [ ]
     - Neutrons: [ ]

**Additional Feature:**
An "X" button and a circular reset button are visible, likely for clearing or resetting the input fields.

At the bottom, there is a "Continue" button indicating progress to the next step once completed.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons present in the atom. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons is also the same as the atomic number. Hence, we can say that:

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
