Every atom of an element has the same number of protons and number of electrons.

It is common knowledge in determining the number of protons, electrons and neutrons on a periodic table, whereas the,

Atomic Number = Number of Protons = Number of Electrons

Mass  Number = Number of Protons/Number of Electrons + Number of Neutrons

Atomic Number = Mass Number - Number of Neutrons

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

Basing on the given representation above, we can easily determine the number of neutrons, electrons and protons of an element by looking at the periodic table.
