Nuclide notation is a shorthand method of showing information about atoms. \u00a0Numbers are arranged around the outside of the atom’s symbol.\u00a0 The information provide by nuclide notation is detailed in the diagram opposite. \u00a0This diagram shows the nuclide notation for a sodium ion (which has a 1+ charge).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0Number of Protons<\/td>\nThis is the same as the atomic number – so in the example is 11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Number of electrons<\/td>\nFor atoms, this will be the same as the atomic number.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHowever ions are different, in that they have a charge. \u00a0If the ion is positively charged, it means it has lost electrons(s). \u00a0Consequently, the number of electrons will be calculated by subtracting the charge from the number of protons (atomic number – which never changes).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn this example, the number electrons equals 10.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf the ion is negatively charged, it means the atom has gained extra electrons. In this case the number of electrons will calculated by adding the charge to the number of protons (atomic number).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Number of Neutrons<\/td>\nThe mass of an atom is given by the number of neutrons (mass – 1 amu) plus the number of protons (mass – 1 amu).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nConsequently, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the \u00a0atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn this example, the number of neutrons equals 12.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
