Reading Element Key/Lewis Dot/Bohr Model

The number at the top of the element key is called the atomic number, what does it tell you?

• protons and electrons

• protons and neutrons

• neutrons and electrons

• protons only

The bottom number on the element key is the atomic mass, it tells us...?

• protons plus electrons

• protons plus neutrons

• electrons plus neutrons

• protons and electrons
