Question
Chapter 2.1, Problem 3CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyse:
- The derivation of atomic number and mass number.
- The meaning of atomic mass or weight.
Introduction:
The atom is the smallest unit of matter that still has its unique properties. Each atom is subdivided into subatomic particles called protons, neutron and electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are uncharged.

In the periodic table of the elements, elements in a single column have the same number of electrons that can participate in a chemical reaction. These electrons are known as valence electrons.
