The atomic number is the number of protons an atom has (so 8 in this case). The atomic mass is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (so 17 in this case).

How many protons neutrons and electrons does si-28 have?

A silicon-28 atom has 14 protons, 14 neutrons, and 14 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (silicon in this case), the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass of the isotope (28 in this case), and the number of electrons balances the charge to make the atom electrically neutral.


What information can you gather knowing the atomic number and mass of an element?

If you know the atomic no. and atomic mass, then the no. of electrons, no. of protons and no. of neutrons can also be determined. Atomic No.=No. of electrons = No. of protons. No. of neutrons=Atomic mass-Atomic no. Also, by no. of electrons you can determine its valency and the no. of valence electrons.


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
