To fill in the missing information for lead (Pb):
-
Atomic Symbol: Pb
-
Atomic Number: 82 (This is the number of protons and also electrons in a neutral atom)
-
Protons: 82
-
Neutrons: The atomic mass of lead is approximately 207, and since the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons, we can calculate the number of neutrons as follows:
Neutrons = Atomic mass - Protons = 207 - 82 = 125
-
Electrons: 82 (since it is neutral, the number of electrons equals the number of protons)
-
Atomic Mass: 207
Here’s the completed table:
| Atomic symbol | Atomic Number | Protons | Neutrons | Electrons | Atomic mass | |---------------|---------------|---------|----------|-----------|-------------| | Pb | 82 | 82 | 125 | 82 | 207 |
