    The document discusses the structure of the atom. It explains that atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. It defines the key terms - the atomic number Z is the number of protons, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, and the number of neutrons is the atomic mass A minus the atomic number Z. As an example, it asks the reader to identify the element with atomic number 11 and mass 23, and determine the number of electrons, protons and neutrons.
