• Atomic number is the number of Protons in an atom

• All atoms of a particular element have the SAME number of protons (All Carbon atoms have 6 protons)• In a neutral atom,

The atomic number =The number of electrons

Page 3: Atomic and mass number

• Also called atomic weight or Mass Number• Sum weight of protons and neutrons in an atom

Atomic number= Number of protons= Number of electrons

Mass number= Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Page 6: Atomic and mass number

Calculating Neutrons:

• Mass number = protons + neutronsso…..

• Neutrons = mass number – protons

What is the number of neutrons of the following atom ?
