- 2Mass numberThe total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
- 3IsotopeA chemical element that has the same chemical properties (the same atomic number) but differs in mass. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons.
- 4IonAn atom or group of atoms that carries a positive or negative electric charge as a result of having lost or gained one or more electrons.
