Since the actual weight of an atom is extremely small, a more convenient way of designating the relative mass of the various atoms is the atomic weight. The atomic weight of an atom was originally defined as the sum of the number of its protons and its neutrons. Unfortunately, this idea proved not valid as exact measurements of the actual weights of the various elements and sub-atomic particles were made. The new definition of an Atomic Mass unit is that it is 1/12 of the atomic weight of Carbon-12. Most listing of elements include isotopes to display an average atomic weight.
We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. We make mass number by total of both protons and neutrons.
The atomic mass and the atomic number do not change when an electron is emitted.
If the nucleus captures an electron, the atomic number decreases and the mass number stays the same.
It forms dianionic species.

Atomic number is the equivalent of the number of protons in an atomic nucleus.
Electrons are in a continuous movement around the atomic nucleus.
The nucleus is an electron, but in the outermost shell (= valence electron). The atomic number (Z) of potassium is 19. Therefore its electron distribution is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s The valence electron is 4s, so the nucleus is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6. The potassium ion, K+, has lost one of its outermost electrons, so it has the same electrons as the nucleus of K.
in the energy levels. energy levels are in the electron cloud.
The atomic number of oxygen is 8 because oxygen has 8 protons in its nucleus.The atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is always the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and identical to the charge number of the nucleus. It is conventionally represented by the symbol Z.The Atomic Number is a count of how many Protons are present in an atom of an element.The element Oxygen has 8 Protons in its atomic nucleus and therefore has an Atomic Number of 8.Note: in an electrically neutral atom the number of electrons in the electron cloud exactly matches the number of Protons in the nucleus of the atom, therefore electrically neutral oxygen will also have 8 electrons.
Electrons are not part of the atomic nucleus.
The electron.
The electron is the sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom of matter. For anti-matter the sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus is the anti-electron (positron).
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
Electrons move around the atomic nucleus.
That particle is an electron.
The nucleus is found at the center of the atom and the electron cloud is found orbiting the nucleus at fixed, quantified radii.
The proton and the neutron make up the nucleus, as the electron orbits the nucleus in the electron cloud.
a beta particle. the nucleus is made of protons (+) and neutrons. but neutrons can transform into an electron and a proton. when that happens in the nucleus, the proton stays in the nucleus while the electron shoots out at incredibly high speeds. that high speed electron is called a beta particle. the proton that stays is added to the other protons to increase the atomic number
Atomic number is the equivalent of the number of protons in an atomic nucleus.
Subatomic particles are protons and neutrons, which are found in the atomic nucleus, and electrons, which are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
