An atom is comprised of a nucleus of protons and neutrons, and layers of 'shells' in which the electrons revolve around the nucleus. An element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus while the number of electrons on the outer shell define an atoms group on the Periodic Table. Then the number of neutrons is added to the number of protons to define the atomic weight of the atom.
