Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the First Row

The first row is for \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\).

  • Atom or Ion?: \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\) is a cation because it has a positive charge.
  • Number of Protons: Silver (Ag) has an atomic number of 47, so it has 47 protons.
  • Number of Electrons: Since it is a cation with a \(+1\) charge, it has one less electron than protons, so it has 46 electrons.
Step 2: Analyze the Second Row

The second row has 29 protons.

  • Atom or Ion?: An element with 29 protons is Copper (Cu).
  • Neutral Atom or Ion?: Since the number of protons is given, we assume it is a neutral atom unless specified otherwise.
  • Number of Electrons: A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as protons, so it has 29 electrons.
Step 3: Analyze the Third Row

The third row is missing information for a neutral atom.

  • Atom or Ion?: It is specified as a neutral atom.
  • Number of Protons: Since it is a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
  • Number of Electrons: This information is missing, but it should match the number of protons for a neutral atom.

Final Answer

\[ \begin{array}{|c|cc|c|c|c|} \hline \text{symbol} & \multicolumn{3}{|c|}{\begin{array}{c} \text{atom or ion?} \\ \text{check-all that apply} \end{array}} & \begin{array}{c} \text{number of} \\ \text{protons} \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text{number of} \\ \text{electrons} \end{array} \\ \hline \mathrm{Ag}^{+} & \square \text{ neutral atom} & \checked \text{ cation} & \square \text{ anion} & \boxed{47} & \boxed{46} \\ \hline \mathrm{Cu} & \checked \text{ neutral atom} & \square \text{ cation} & \square \text{ anion} & \boxed{29} & \boxed{29} \\ \hline \square & \square & \text{neutral atom} & \square & \text{cation} & \square \text{ anion} \\ \hline \end{array} \]
