Understanding Aluminum’s Atomic Structure: The Role Of Neutrons In Its Properties And Applications
Aluminum’s atomic structure plays a crucial role in its properties. The atomic number (13) indicates its 13 protons and electrons, while the mass number (27) signifies 13 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus. Neutrons, with no charge and a mass slightly heavier than protons, contribute to the element’s mass and determine its isotopic composition….
