AtomicAtomic StructureStructure
Atomic number = the number of protons in Atomic number = the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, the number the nucleus of an atom, the number identifies the element (also tells the identifies the element (also tells the number of electrons)number of electrons)
Atomic mass (mass number) = the number Atomic mass (mass number) = the number of protons + the number of neutronsof protons + the number of neutrons

Atomic StructureAtomic Structure
Atoms that differ from other atoms of the same Atoms that differ from other atoms of the same element by the number of neutrons in the nucleus element by the number of neutrons in the nucleus (have the same number of protons and (have the same number of protons and electrons)electrons)
Ex: hydrogen has 3 isotopes – all have 1 proton but Ex: hydrogen has 3 isotopes – all have 1 proton but each has a different # of neutrons)each has a different # of neutrons)
