    The document defines key atomic properties - atomic number, atomic symbol, atomic mass, neutrons, and electrons. It provides examples of how to use these properties to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for various atoms and ions. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons, the atomic symbol can be used to look up the atomic number on the periodic table, and the atomic mass is the number of protons plus neutrons.

    ATOMIC NUMBER= NUMBER OF PROTONS (WHICH FOR NEUTRAL ATOMS IS EQUAL

    TO THE NUMBER OF ELECTRONS)

    ATOMIC SYMBOL ALLOWS US TO FIND THE ATOMIC NUMBER BECAUSE YOU CAN
    JUST LOOK IT UP ON THE PERIODIC TABLE.

    ATOMIC MASS= NUMBER OF PROTONS + NUMBER OF NEUTRONS

    NEUTRON= ATOMIC MASS-ATOMIC NUMBER

    ELECTRONS= PROTON NUMBER (IF THE ELEMENT IS NEUTRAL.)


    ELECTRONS= PROTON NUMBER – THE CHARGE NUMBER (POSITIVE)
    ELECTRONS= PROTON NUMBER + THE CHARGE NUMBER (NEGATIVE)
