Key Concepts

Isotopic Notation

Isotopic notation is a shorthand used to denote different isotopes of an element. It typically consists of the element's symbol followed by a dash and the mass number, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Atomic Number

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It is fundamental in identifying the element and determines its position in the periodic table.

Mass Number

The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. In isotopic notation, the mass number helps differentiate between isotopes of the same element.

Neutron Number

The neutron number is the count of neutrons in the nucleus. It is used alongside the atomic number to calculate the mass number of an isotope, thereby serving as a key factor in distinguishing isotopes.
