Atomic Number 🔗

The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. Each element has a different number of protons.


Mass Number 🔗

The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Your periodic table gives an average mass number. You should round it to the nearest whole number.


Pātai: Sodium 🔗

  1. How many protons does sodium have in its nucleus?
  2. How many neutrons does sodium have in its nucleus?
  3. How many electrons orbit around sodium?
  4. Why is there that many electrons?


Whakatika 🔗

  1. How many protons does sodium have in its nucleus?
    11
  2. How many neutrons does sodium have in its nucleus?
    $23-11=12$
  3. How many electrons orbit around sodium?
    11
  4. Why is there that many electrons?
    Because the number of protons and electrons are the same in neutral atoms.


Pātai: Phosphorous 🔗

  1. How many protons does phosphorous have in its nucleus?
  2. How many neutrons does phosphorous have in its nucleus?
  3. How many electrons orbit around phosphorous?
  4. Why is there that many electrons?


Whakatika 🔗

  1. How many protons does phosphorous have in its nucleus?
    15
  2. How many neutrons does phosphorous have in its nucleus?
    $31-15=16$
  3. How many electrons orbit around phosphorous?
    15
  4. Why is there that many electrons?
    Because the number of protons and electrons are the same in neutral atoms.
