Summary Structure of an Atom

THAT IS IT. The last 8 pages are the essential basics of Chemistry i.e.

Peas are protons and are +ve.

Newts are neutral and no charge.

Electronic Robots are electrons and are negative.

A Tom cat is an atomic number and only eats peas.
So Atomic Number = Number Protons.

A Bull Mastiff is the mass number and bull mastiffs eat everything bar metal. 
So Mass Number = Number Protons + Number Neutrons.

The Periodic Table is neutrally charged.

So Nº Protons must equal Nº Electrons.

When an element is shown as:

An element block showing how the mass and atomic numbers will be shown on the periodic table

You know the bigger number is the Bull Mastiff (mass Nº) and the smaller number is a Tom cat (atomic Nº).
