2.  Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.  What has changed if there is a different number of neutrons. HINT: look at your periodic tables. Something must have changed.

3.  If you have a different number of neutrons, that means your atomic mass has changed.  Remember that atomic mass = neutrons + protons  THE NUMBER OF PROTONS NEVER CHANGES.  Why doesn’t this number ever change?

4.  If you change the number of protons you now have a different element.  EX: If you have an atom of Ne (Neon) with 11 protons now.. You actually would have an atom of Na (Sodium)

5.  Protons  Neutrons  Electrons

6.  Protons  11  Neutrons  12  Electrons  11  Draw out the model

7. Sodium with 11 protons and 12 neutrons. ** This is what we see on the periodic table. Sodium with 11 protons and 13 neutrons. ** Different from periodic table

8. X : element symbol A: Mass Number # protons + # neutrons in the nucleus Always larger than Z A: Mass Number # protons + # neutrons in the nucleus Always larger than Z Z : Atomic number #protons Z : Atomic number #protons A, X, and Z are very important to remember!
