In this video, you'll learn how to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons from an atom or ion. We first start off by discussing what each part of the nuclide notation means. That includes the atomic number, mass number, and charge. The atomic number tells us the number of protons. The mass number tells us the number of protons plus neutrons. Next, we work through three examples together. By the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
