Answer 1

Answer:

Atoms are the smallest particle that make up living both living and non living things, they are made up of subatomic particles; protons, neutrons and electrons. Of these the electrons protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the protons electrons orbit around the nucleus. Of the subatomic particles, the electrons have the largest smallest mass and are negatively charged, the neutrons (negative charge) (no charge) and protons (positively charged) both have a relative mass of 1. Atoms contain an equal number of protons and neutrons electrons, so carry no overall charge. An element is a substance made up of only two one type of atom. Elements can be found in the Periodic table of elements, they usually have two numbers next to the chemical symbol, the larger number is generally the atomic mass number, which represents the number of neutrons and the number of protons. The smaller number is the relative atomic mass atomic number which represents the number of electrons or neutrons protons. In order to calculate the number of neutrons, you minus the atomic number from the relative atomic mass.
