Question

I want to make sure I got this right since I'm struggling a little bit. I have to figure out how many neutrons, protons and electrons in this element?

Manganese-55 (55Mn)

Mass number is 55. The atomic number is 25.  Atomic number is equal to the number of protons. Protons is 25.  This is a neutrally charged atom so Electrons would be 25.

Mass number is total number of protons and neutrons.  So          55-25=30

Protons 25 

Electrons 25 

Neutrons 30
