Consider a neutral atom that has 17 electrons

A.) how many protons does it have?
B.) what is it's atomic number?
C.) which element is it?

Its B.

That didn't even answer the questions? A b and c were questions not options

a) if neutral number of protons = number of electrons

b) 17

c) look at periodic table

K thank u:)
