Answer 1

Sorry, I cannot display tables. However, I can provide you with the information.

The number of subatomic particles in a krypton atom are as follows:

Inside the nucleus:
- Protons: The atomic number of krypton is 36, so it contains 36 protons.
- Neutrons: The mass number of krypton is 84, and the atomic number is 36. Therefore, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. 84 - 36 = 48 neutrons.

Outside the nucleus:
- Electrons: Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, krypton also has 36 electrons surrounding the nucleus.
