Problem: How many protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of each of the following atoms? In a neutral atom of each element how many electrons are present?d. 133Cs

We’re being asked to determine number o protons, neutrons, and electrons in ¹³³Cs.

An element can be represented as:

You can determine the identity of the element using its atomic number:

Atomic number (Z):

• represents the identity of the element
• reveals the number of protons
• in a neutral element:

# of protons = # of electrons

Mass number (A)

• reveals the number of protons and neutrons

mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons
