The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

A is the mass number (the sum of the protons and neutrons) Z is the atomic number (the number of protons) X is the chemical symbol of the element Note: the number of neutrons in the nucleus can be ...

This symbol shows that chlorine has 35 particles in the nucleus (protons and neutrons ... positive protons but one electron so it is a positive ion. Helium ion, two neutrons, two protons and ...

He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the problem in the back of his mind while working on other things.

For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an ...
