Mass number: total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Sodium Atomic number: 11 Mass number: 23 (11+12)
Nuclide: atom characterized by a definite atomic number and mass number. Symbol of the element with the atomic number written as a subscript on the left and the mass number as a superscript on the left. Nuclide symbol for sodium is:
Isotopes: atoms whose nuclei have the same atomic number but different mass numbers; that is the nuclei have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Naturally occurring oxygen: 99.759% oxygen-16 0.037% oxygen-17 0.204% oxygen-18
Example 2.1 What is the nuclide symbol for a nucleus that contains 38 protons and 50 neutrons?
