Mass Number = mass of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Atomic Number = number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus
Element Symbol – eg. Beryllium
To find the number of neutrons in the nucleus, subtract atomic number from mass number. There would be 9 – 4 or 5 neutrons in a Beryllium atom
RememberRemember
The periodic table is organized by The periodic table is organized by atomic number (the number of atomic number (the number of protons the element has in its protons the element has in its nucleus)nucleus)
Protons are + and electrons are - Protons are + and electrons are - The number of protons = the number The number of protons = the number
