### Understanding Isotopes: An Example with Rutherfordium

One of the isotopes of the element rutherfordium is symbolized by \(\frac{267}{104}\text{Rf}\). This means the **atomic number** of Rf is 104 and its **mass number** is 267. Therefore, the number of protons is also 104, the number of electrons is 104, and the number of neutrons is \(267 - 104 = 163\).
