It’s like an ID number for an element Atomic Number Atomic Number: number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element It’s like an ID number for an element
Mass Number Mass Number: total number of protons and neutrons in an atom Hyphenated notation: Helium-4
Atoms If you know the atomic number and mass number, you can determine the atom’s composition. # Protons = Atomic Number # Electrons = # Protons # Neutrons = Mass Number – Atomic Number

Isotopes Isotopes: atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Neon-20, neon-21, and neon-22 are three isotopes of neon. Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.
Hydrogen has 3 isotopes The correct way to represent an isotope is to write the chemical name followed by the mass number (protons + neutrons)
Hydrogen has 3 isotopes 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1
Most elements occur as a mixture of two or more isotopes. Atomic Mass Most elements occur as a mixture of two or more isotopes. Each isotope of an element has a fixed mass and a natural percent abundance. Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.

Radioactivity: release of energy & matter that results from changes in the nucleus of an atom All elements with an atomic number greater than 83 are radioisotopes (unstable nucleii) Elements with atomic numbers less than or equal to 83 have isotopes with stable nucleii and may have a radioactive isotope http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/education/physics/radioactive-decay-carbon.html
