Atomic Mass, Protons,

Neutrons, Electrons
 Atomic Mass

🞂 Combination of the total

mass of protons and
electrons in an atom.
 Proton

🞂Positively charged
particle of an atom.
 Neutron
🞂 An uncharged
elementary particle that
has a mass nearly equal
to that of the proton.
 Electron

🞂Negatively charge
particle of an atom.
 Description Symbol

Element Symbol X

Atomic number Z

Atomic Mass/Weight A

Protons p+

Neutrons n0

Electrons e-
 Description How to compute?

Element Symbol X

Atomic number = p+

Atomic Mass/Weight = p+ + n

Protons = Z

Neutrons = A - p+

Electrons = p+
