Concept introduction:
Atom is the smallest fundamental unit of matter. Atom is made up of subatomic particles like electrons, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and called nucleons. Electrons are present in orbitals, outside the nucleus. During chemical transformations electrons are being exchanged between the elements. The arrangement of electrons in various atomic or molecular orbital are called electronic configuration. For example the atomic number of sodium is 11, which means it has 11 electrons. The electronic configuration of neutral sodium atom is written as given below.
Electronic configuration indicates the chemical properties and reactivity of the element.
Atomic number is the number of electrons or the number of protons present in that atom. It is the main characteristic of an atom on which most of the properties are dependent. Mass number is the sum of all the protons and neutrons present in the nucleus.
