Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Atomic nucleus : The atomic nucleus is the central part of an atom containing protons and neutrons.
  • Atomic number : The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom and fixes which element it is.
  • Mass number : The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in an atom.
  • Isotopes : Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons.
