How do you determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons present in an element by identifying its atomic and mass numbers from the periodic table?

Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
