Key Concepts

Atomic Number (Z)

The atomic number is the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom. It defines the chemical element and its position in the periodic table, serving as a fundamental identifier for the element.

Mass Number (A)

The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. It is essential for distinguishing among the different isotopes of an element since each isotope has a unique mass number.

Neutron Number

The neutron number is determined by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number (N = A - Z). It indicates the number of neutrons in the nucleus and is what differentiates one isotope from another of the same element.

Isotope Notation

Isotope notation is a standardized way to represent an isotope, where the mass number is written as a superscript on the upper left and the atomic number as a subscript on the lower left of the element symbol. This concise representation encapsulates the key nuclear properties of an atom.
