Constituents of the atom

?
Mass/Nucleon Number
No. of Nucleons (Protons and Neutrons) in the nucleus. Denoted by ‘A’
1 of 5
Atomic/Proton Number
No. of protons in the nucleus. Denoted by ‘Z’.
2 of 5
Specific Charge
Ratio of a particle’s charge to its mass.
3 of 5
Isotopes
Variations of an element, with the same no. of protons and electrons, but different no. of neutrons. Greater the no. of neutrons compared to protons, more unstable the nuclei.
4 of 5
Isotopic Data
