NAME OF ELEMENT NET CHARGE
PROTONS NEUTRONS ELECTRONS NUMBER
1 11 12 12
2 8 8 6
3 3 4 7
4 4 5 6
5 6 6 8

PART II. ENGAGEMENT: THE NUCLIDE SYMBOL

How do we represent an atom, with all its protons, neutrons, and electrons? With nuclide symbols, of course!

Nuclides are specific types of atoms or nuclei (plural of nucleus). Every nuclide has a chemical element symbol (E)
as well as an atomic number (Z), the number of protons in the nucleus, and a mass number (A), the total number
of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The symbol for the element is as shown below:

The net charge is also indicated in the upper right side of the element symbol. When the net charge is not written,
it is understood that the nuclide is neutral or has a zero net charge.

An example is Magnesium, which has the element symbol Mg, atomic number 12, mass number 24, and net charge
of +2.

This means that this nuclide of Magnesium has:

 12 protons
 12 neutrons
 10 electrons
