Each element is neutral in charge because they have an equal amount of protons and electrons.

• True

• False

The atomic mass of an element is equal to

• the number of protons and electrons

• the number of protons and neutrons

• the number of electrons and neutrons

The atomic number is equal to the number of

• protons

• electrons

• neutrons

To identify the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

• True

• False

An isotope is defined as an element that has a different number of neutrons.

• True

• False
