  1. For 1-10 you have the average mass number upper left corner = number protons + neutrons, followed by the atomic number lower left corner = # protons, then the atomic symbol. You can deduce the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. Radioactive elements have varying number of neutrons, notice:

    1. 27-13 = 14 neutrons + 13 protons

    2. 200-79 = 121 neutrons + 79 protons

    3. 200-80 = 120 neutrons + 80 protons

    4. 205-81 = 124 neutrons + 81 protons

    5. 50-23 = 27 neutrons + 23 protons

    6. 99-43 = 56 neutrons + 43 protons

    7. 198-78 = 120 neutrons + 78 protons

    8. 108-47 = 61 neutrons + 47 protons

    9. 208-83 = 125 neutrons + 83 protons

    10. 168-67 = 101 neutrons + 67 protons

    Note: parenthesis for problem # (not part of nuclear symbol)

    (11) 20

    10 Ne

    (12) 22

    10 Ne

    (13) 68

    168 Er

    (14) 74

    186 W

    (15) 9

    19 F

    (16) 9

    20 F

    (17) 76

    191 Os

    (18) 51

    125 Sb

    (19) 31

    67 Ga

    (20) 54

    136 Xe

    For 11-14, add the neutrons and protons to get mass number for the ? element. The element identity is given by the atomic number (# protons). For 15-20, add the number of protons in the most abundant isotope of each element (seen in periodic table) to the # neutrons you have. This gives the unknown mass number. Problem # 10 is not radioactive though.
