is my diagram clear to you

u\yes

An atom consists of electrons and nucleus.
nucleus consists of proton and neutrons
protons consist of positive charge, electrons consist of negative charge and neutrons are neutral.
As such an atom is nuetral since \(\huge\color{gold}{\tt No~of~proton=No~of~electron}\)

are you understanding
OpenStudy (kitten_is_back):
yes
rvc (rvc):
good
rvc (rvc):
now mass of proton~ mass of electron
rvc (rvc):
mass of neutron is negligible so we consider the mass of proton to calculate the atomic weight
