A given atom has 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons. Describe how you can use those three values to describe the structure, charge, and the mass of the atom. (I need help.)

OpenStudy (ramzy197):

the mass would be 7 because the sum of neutrons and protons so 4+3=7 the charge would be neutral because theres an equal number of electrons and protons the structure is determined by using the periodic table so because this element has 3 protons you look at the atomic number and the only element on the periodic table with an atomic number of 3 is lithium :)
