Atoms are very small. They have a radius of around 1 × 10 10 metres. This symbol shows that chlorine has 35 particles in the nucleus (protons and neutrons), 17 of which are protons. It also tells us ...

Osaka--A magic number is a number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus of an elemental particle that results in much greater stability than that of nuclei with other numbers of protons or neutrons.
