Matter is made up of Atoms, • Atom is smallest unit into which matter can be divided without the, release of electrically charged particles. It is the basic building unit of, all materials., • Size 10-10 m., • 92 types of naturally occurring atoms., • Combination of atoms lead to molecules.

Atomic number (A) = Number of Protons, = Number of electrons, Facts about atomic number, Atomic number is the unique identification number of an element., Since it is the number of electrons, it determines chemistry of the, element., Two atoms with same atomic number have same chemical, properties., In modern periodic table elements are arranged in the order of, atomic number.

Mass number (M) = Number of Protons + Number of neutrons, Facts about mass number, Mass number gives mass of the atom., It does not include mass of electrons because their mass is, negligibly small.
