For example, the mass number of both argon atoms and calcium atoms is 40. The atomic number of a sodium atom is 11 and its mass number is 23. Calculate the number of protons, neutrons and ...

For elements in the first three periods of the periodic table (hydrogen - argon), the orbitals can simply be filled up by increasing energy energy level. A difficulty arises when we come to potassium.
