Atoms and Periodic Table

An element has an atomic number of 20. This means it has:

• 20 atoms in it.

• 20 protons.

• an atomic mass of 20.

• 20 neutrons.

Protons and electrons:

• have the same mass

• are both found in the nucleus.

• have opposite charges.

• are added together to find the atomic mass.
