Hey there!

The atomic mass is the sum of the protons and electrons.

The charge of an atom is the difference between protons and electrons.

So, the number of protons is p, and p - 11 = -1.

Add 11 to each side and get p = 10. The atom has 10 protons.

The atom has 10 protons and 8 neutrons, the sum of the two is the atomic mass.

10 + 8 = 18

The atom has an atomic mass of 18.

Hope this helps!  

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.
