## Counting Protons and Neutrons

1. **An atom of aluminum with a mass number of 24 and an atomic number of 13 has a total of** 
   [ ] **neutrons.**

2. **An atom of argon with a mass number of 38 and an atomic number of 18 has a total of** 
   [ ] **neutrons.**

3. **An atom of oxygen with a mass number of 17 and an atomic number of 8 has a total of** 
   [ ] **neutrons.**

4. **An atom of phosphorous with a mass number of 32 and an atomic number of 15 has a total of** 
   [ ] **neutrons.**

5. **An atom of oxygen with a mass number of 16 and an atomic number of 8 has a total of** 
   [ ] **neutrons.**

### Options:

- 8
- 9
- 11
- 13
- 15
- 17
- 18
- 20
- 24
- 32
- 16

In this exercise, students are prompted to calculate the number of neutrons in various atoms. Given the mass number (total number of protons and neutrons) and the atomic number (number of protons), students can determine the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number:

\[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Mass Number} - \text{Atomic Number} \]

Boxes are provided to fill in the correct number of neutrons corresponding to each given atom description.
