The neutral atom with an atomic number of 14 and 16 neutrons is Silicon (Si). Here are the details:
- Name: Silicon
- Symbol: Si
- Mass Number: 30 (14 protons + 16 neutrons)
- Number of Protons: 14
- Number of Electrons: 14 (since it is a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons)
The atomic number (14) indicates the number of protons in the nucleus, which also determines the element’s identity. Since the atom is neutral, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
