Nuclear Physics Essentials

1. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, which determine the element's atomic number and mass number. 2. The atomic number (Z) represents the number of protons in the nucleus, while the mass number (A) is the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons). 3. Neutrons have a mass slightly greater than protons, and the total mass of the nucleus is approximately equal to the sum of the individual masses of the protons and neutrons.
