The atomic number tells you what? READ THE ANSWERS CAREFULLY

• only the number of electrons

• only the number of protons

• only the number of neutrons

• the number of both electrons and protons in an atom.

What does the atomic mass tell you? 

• Basically,the number of electrons and protons
• The number of neutrons
• Basically, the number of protons and neutrons
• The number of protons.

The atoms we study in 6th grade are neutral, which means they have the same number of

• protons and electrons
• protons and neutrons
• electrons and neutrons
