Answer
(i) Atom of Carbon [] —
No. of Electrons [e] = 6
No. of Protons [p] = 6
No. of Neutrons [n] = A - Z
= 12 - 6 = 6
Electronic configuration = 2, 4
(ii) Atom of sodium —
No. of Electrons [e] = 11
No. of Protons [p] = 11
No. of Neutrons [n] = A - Z
= 23 - 11 = 12
Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 1
(iii) Atom of Phosphorus —
No. of Electrons [e] = 15
No. of Protons [p] = 15
No. of Neutrons [n] = A - Z
= 31 - 15 = 16
Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 5
(iv) Atom of Potassium —
No. of Electrons [e] = 19
No. of Protons [p] = 19
No. of Neutrons [n] = A - Z
= 39 - 19 = 20
Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 8, 1
(v) Atom of Calcium —
No. of Electrons [e] = 20
No. of Protons [p] = 20
No. of Neutrons [n] = A - Z
= 40 - 20 = 20
Electronic configuration = 2, 8, 8, 2
