please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

$a:$ Atomic number: $\qquad$The number of proton present in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic number. $\qquad$it is represented by $Z$. $\qquad$Example:$\qquad$ O = 8$\qquad$C = 6 $b:$ Isotope: $\qquad$ Atoms of the same element having same atomic number but different mass numbers are called $\qquad$ isotopes of each other. $\qquad$Examples: $\qquad$Hydrogen has three isotopes$\qquad$1: protium$\qquad$2: deutrium$\qquad$3: tritium $c:$ Mass Number: $\qquad$ the sum of the number of proton and neutron present in the nucleus of an atom is called Mass number. it is represented by $A$. $\qquad$Examples: $\qquad$F = 7$\qquad$ Mg = 12 $d:$ Nuclear Charge: $\qquad$ The total charge of all the protons present in the nucleus of an atom is called Nuclear charge. $\qquad$Examples:$\qquad$Nuclear Charge of O = 8$\qquad$Nuclear Charge of N = 7
