The following box is one of the 118 elements that exist on earth and are organized into the periodic table of elements correctly. Identify each type of information in the box by dragging, dropping the correct term. Some of the boxes will contain more than one answer so in the box we have and then we have SI underneath the SI we have 28.086 and then we have silicon and there are four boxes, the answers they have are the number of protons and the number of electrons the next boxes atomic mass and then element symbol and then atomic number and then element name and then used to calculate the number of neutrons need help

Certainly! Based on the information you've provided for silicon, here’s how the various pieces of information would fit into the appropriate categories:

  1. Element Name: Silicon
  2. Element Symbol: Si
  3. Atomic Number: 14 (this represents the number of protons, which is also equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom)
  4. Atomic Mass: 28.086
  5. Number of Protons: 14 (this is the same as the atomic number)
  6. Number of Electrons: 14 (for a neutral silicon atom)
  7. Used to Calculate the Number of Neutrons: Atomic Mass - Atomic Number = 28.086 - 14 = approximately 14 neutrons.

So, in summary:

  • Element Name: Silicon
  • Element Symbol: Si
  • Atomic Number: 14
  • Atomic Mass: 28.086
  • Number of Protons: 14
  • Number of Electrons: 14
  • Used to Calculate the Number of Neutrons: Atomic Mass - Atomic Number
