[tex]\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}[/tex]

  • Atomic number of an element with 6 neutrons and a mass number of 10

[tex]\bold{\underline{ Let's \:Begin}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{We\: know\: that, }[/tex]

  • Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

[tex]\sf{Whereas ,}[/tex]

  • Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

[tex]\sf{We\: have \:number \:of \:neutrons = 6 }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ Mass\: number = 10 }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{\underline{Therefore}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ Mass\: number = Protons + neutrons}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ 10 = Protons + 6 }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ Protons = 10 - 6}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ Protons = 4 }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ Thus, \: the \: number \: of \: protons \: is \:4}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{\underline{ Therefore,\:we\:know\:that, }}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ No\: of\: protons = Atomic \:number }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ 4 = Atomic \:number }[/tex]

[tex]\sf { Hence, \:atomic\: number\: of\: the\: element\: is\: 4}[/tex]
