THE ELEMENTS AND THE PERIODIC TABLE 01元素和元素周期表
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is referred to as the atomic number, or proton number, Z
The number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom is also equal to the atomic number, Z
The total mass of an atom is determined very nearly by the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus
This total is called the mass number, A
The number of neutrons in an atom, the neutron number, is given by the quantity A-Z
原子核中的质子数的原子称为原子序数,或质子数,卓电子数的电中性的原子也等于原子序数Z,总质量的原子是非常接近的总数量的质子和中子在原子核
这被称为质量数,这个数的原子中的中子,中子数,给出了所有的数量The term element refers to, a pure substance with atoms all of a single kind
To the chemist the "kind" of atom is specified by its atomic number, since this is the property that determines its chemical behavio
