    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atomic number of an element is the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the identity of an element.
    • Mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.

    Nucleons and Nuclides

    • Nucleons are the protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same atomic number (number of protons) but different mass numbers (different number of neutrons).
    • A nuclide is a specific atom with a certain number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus, often represented by the symbol AX, where A is the mass number and X is the symbol of the element.
