Atomic Structure [ENRICHMENT]
All atoms are composed of a small positively charged nucleus containing protons and neutrons surrounded by a larger negatively charged electron cloud.
An atomic number (Z) is the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom. Since an atom contains an equal number of protons and electrons, the atomic number also indicates the number of electrons present in an atom.
Atomic number (Z) = Number of protons = Number of electrons
A mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.
Mass number (A) = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
The number of subatomic particles present in an atom can be determined using its atomic number and mass number, as shown below.
Number of protons = Atomic number (Z)
Number of electrons = Atomic number (Z)
Number of neutrons = Massnumber (A) - Atomic number (Z)
Total number of subatomic particles present in an atom = Mass number (A) + Atomic number (Z)
