Explanation of Solution
All the elements are assigned a letter symbol from their name. The symbol is the first or first two letters from the name of the element.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its atom.
The mass number of the element is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom.
The protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of the atom and electrons revolve around the nucleus. The number of electrons and protons are equal in a neutral atom as the electrons and protons are charged bodies.
