(N/A) To find the number of protons $(n_{(p)})$ and neutrons $(n_{(n)})$, we use the notation ${ }_{Z}^{A} X$, where $Z$ is the atomic number (number of protons) and $A$ is the mass number (protons + neutrons).
$1$. For ${ }_{17}^{35} Cl$: $n_{(p)} = Z = 17$. $n_{(n)} = A - Z = 35 - 17 = 18$.
$2$. For ${ }_{6}^{12} C$: $n_{(p)} = Z = 6$. $n_{(n)} = A - Z = 12 - 6 = 6$.
$3$. For ${ }_{35}^{81} Br$: $n_{(p)} = Z = 35$. $n_{(n)} = A - Z = 81 - 35 = 46$.
Element $n_{(p)}$ $n_{(n)}$
$Cl$$17$$18$
$C$$6$$6$
$Br$$35$$46$
