If its a neutral atom, and has 3 electrons,
has 3 protons.
protons and neutrons have each 1mass number
so, 3+4=7 mass number of that atom
has 3 protons.
protons and neutrons have each 1mass number
so, 3+4=7 mass number of that atom
-
since it is a neutral atom, it has the same number of protons as electrons, which is 3
the mass of the atom is defined by neutrons+protons,
therefore
3+4 = 7
the mass of the atom is defined by neutrons+protons,
therefore
3+4 = 7

This is lithium.
neutral atom with 3 electrons must have 3 protons, (3 x -ve and 3 x +ve)
3 protons and 4 neutrons = weight of 7
mass number is 7
ps. this is not a maths question but I will give it to you any way.

since the atom is neutral it must contain 3 protons 3 protons and 4 neutrons means this atom has a weight of 7
