Atomic NumberAtomic Number
The The atomic numberatomic number is equal to the number is equal to the number of of protonsprotons in the nucleus of an atom in the nucleus of an atom
This number is expressed as a This number is expressed as a whole whole numbernumber on the periodic table. on the periodic table.
Since + and - charges are equal in atoms, Since + and - charges are equal in atoms, it is also the number of it is also the number of electronselectrons
Mass NumberMass Number
The The mass numbermass number is equal to the is equal to the sum of the sum of the protons and neutronsprotons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. in the nucleus of an atom.
This number is expressed as a This number is expressed as a
Number of neutrons in a atom = (mass number, Number of neutrons in a atom = (mass number, as a whole number) - (atomic number) as a whole number) - (atomic number)
