(N/A) The number of protons is equal to the atomic number $(Z)$.
The number of neutrons is equal to the mass number $(A)$ minus the atomic number $(Z)$,i.e.,$n = A - Z$.
The number of electrons is equal to the atomic number $(Z)$ minus the charge on the species.
Species Protons $(p)$,Electrons $(e^-)$,Neutrons $(n)$
$(i) \ _{15}^{31}P$ $p=15, e^-=15, n=16$
$(ii) \ _{11}^{23}Na^{+}$ $p=11, e^-=10, n=12$
$(iii) \ _{16}^{32}S^{2-}$ $p=16, e^-=18, n=16$
$(iv) \ _{101}^{235}X$ $p=101, e^-=101, n=134$
$(v) \ _{20}^{40}Ca^{2+}$ $p=20, e^-=18, n=20$
$(vi) \ _9^{19}F^{-}$ $p=9, e^-=10, n=10$
