Kepler's Laws HOPE THIS HELPS
Protons:
- Have a mass
- Positively charged
- Found inside the nucleus of an atom
Electrons:
- Have a mass. (9.10938188×10−31 kilograms), though this can sometimes be considered negligible due to how small that actually is. Barely factored into atomic mass
- Negatively charged
- Found outside the nucleus in the electron shell
Neutrons:
- Have a mass
- Neutral (no charge)
- Found inside the nucleus of an atom
Atom A:
- 1 proton
- 0 Neutrons
- 1 electron
- Atomic mass of 1
- Atomic number of 1
Atom B:
- 8 Protons
- 10 Neutrons
- 8 electrons
- Atomic mass of 18
- Atomic number of 8
Atomic mass includes the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Atomic number is the number of protons, as this is what defines what type of element the atom is.
Here, we use the mole as we would use any other collective number: a dozen eggs; a Bakers' dozen; a Botany Bay dozen.
Of course, the mole specifies a much larger quantity, and if I have a mole of stuff then I have

individual items of that stuff. We can also specify an equivalent mass, because we also know the mass of a mole of iron, and a mole of oxygen etc........The mole is thus the link between the macro world of grams and kilograms and litres, that which we can measure out in the lab, to the micro world of atoms, and molecules, that which we can perceive only indirectly.
Here we have the formula unit

. If there is a mole of formula units, there are necessarily 2 moles of iron atoms, 3 sulfate ions,.......etc.
