Two different atoms have six protons each and the same mass. however, one has a negative charge while the other has a positive charge. describe what each atomic structure could be, listing the possible number and location of all subatomic particles.

Explanation:

Let the two atoms be A and B having same number of protons and same mass number.

Given number of protons is 6

Number of protons in A = 6

Number of protons in B = 6

Mass = number of proton + number of neutron

Since the mass is same therefore we can say that the number of neutrons in both the atoms A and B is also same.

Now for a neutral atom, we know that number of proton = number of electron

Therefore, number of electron on A = 6 electron

                  number of electron on A = 6 electron

Let, A be negatively charged, so atom A  gains one extra electron and therefore the number of electrons on A is 7

and B is positively charged, so atom B looses one  electron, so the number of electrons on A is 5.

Electronic configuration for A is 1s2 2s2 2p3

Electronic configuration for B is 1s2 2s2 2p1

So this will be the location of each number of electrons in their respective shells for the two atoms A and B.
